Ok it appears I have my dates wrong. Homesite was 1995, ColdFusion studio was 1996 and Homesite+ was 1998. But it still doesn't excuse the fact that Studio was the better of them all, it had more features than Homesite put together and Homesite+ when introduced, did not have everything that Studio had, it may have over time or years later. But the damage was done and I moved onto another product that would do that at the time. Dreamweaver was the one that came closest to having those project like Source control IDE feeling that Homesite/Homesite+ lacked at that time.
