If you have DWMX then why not use HomeSite+? It's on the CD and after the update is pretty much same as CFStudio was--great ide, just also a little slow (much faster than DW though).
One recommendation, not free, but I really like PrimalScript/PrimalCode from Sapien. http://www.sapien.com. It has most CF Studio features and is blazingly fast. I've been talking to their developers a lot and they're amazingly responsive. I once posted a bug with a specific scenario that cause the program to shut down without warning or error. The response was that they wouldn't leave the office till it was fixed and sure enough there was an update available on their website the next day. A recent minor update had 8 enhancements specific to CF corresponding to things I asked for, so if more people use it we can probably get whatever features we want added. FYI, we bought it specifically for ActionScript 2 where it's unbeatable. I just like to use it for CF too. Also, why don't you want people to work locally? We recently switched from a central dev server to everyone with their own and CVS for communication/version control and love the new setup, especially since we can do CVS very easily right from within PrimalScript.
