Jon, Don't know if you noticed, there's a Quanta Gold just been released!! It's got an integrated ftp client now, and supposedly better integration with CVS. More to the point, on their home page (www.thekcompany.com/products/quanta) they mention that ColdFusion support is planned for the syntax highlighting.
This new version is also being charged for though!! Maybe I'll stick with jEdit!! Incidentally, there is also a Windows version of Quanta.
