Thanks Jim, but no, Eclipse is not for me: * The "TAB editing" feature of those 2 editors is one the best performance booster I have seen in years. I have not found any in Eclipse. * Supported languages: a decent list is at http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/. All the ones I need are there. * Flex: oh yes, I will resist. In the name of standards compliance and accessibility. And it's not futile.

I see now why it was worth the effort, it is ultimately more efficient to work with both as a lone developer and as part of a team. And, as a CF developer, there will most likely be Flex in your future, and Flex runs best in Eclipse. Resistance is Futile.
