Ben, If you are still taking request on DW improvements; the thing that
I miss the most is the advanced find/replace in CFStudio. It's very
useful so only perform find/replace on selected text blocks, rather than
an entire page.

As for the memory issues, being that I usually _never_ use the WYSIWYG.
Can it not be running (and taking up memory) from startup. I'd be
willing to wait for it to load when I activate that panel in trade.

Anyhow, thanks for listening.

Btw. I think the CFDJ Awards are a joke. They are clearly nothing more
than marketing. Sadly I don't think these awards represent any sort of
truth about the products they endorse. I personally refused to vote, as
sys-con was requiring a good deal of personal information to do so. I
don't know about anyone else, but sys-con has sold my email address to
anyone with a pulse. So of course I was not about to give them my phone
number and mailing address.

Also how could the votes even be relevant? A voter would have to have
tried all the products in a category to cast an educated vote. Take the
training category for example, how would I know who the best training
company is, unless I took courses with them all. (Which I doubt anyone
has done) Basically these awards could reflect nothing more than past
sales, as you would only vote for things you have purchased and liked.

Further more, sys-con is not about to say any product is especially bad
if the company who produces it advertises with them. I think the awards
would hold much more weight if they were managed by an outside party
such as HoF.

I never used the Expression Builder in CFS either, but just by judging
the number of times I have heard users bemoaning its absence I have to
assume that many do. The Expression Builder is not the same as the
insight feature you describe. The Expression Builder is a single dialog
that contains a tree control of all functions (useful if you don't
remember the name of the function you want), buttons for all operators,
and an edit area so that expressions (even complex nested ones) may be
built interactively.

I have spoken to quite a few CFers who prefer DWMX so they do exist...

Well, I can pass on the suggestion :)

Sounds like you're referring to this issue:

Hmm, never seen that one so I might be tempted to blame Teambuilder...

I guess I still don't really see what it actually *does*...

DWMX already provides prompts for argument types on CF functions (e.g.,

type 'dateadd(' and DW prompts you with "datepart, number, date" and as

you fill in each argument it reminds you what the others are).
