The advantages are the integration of things like the Database stuff, the style sheet editing, the CFC integration etc. Once you get used to "Sites" instead of projects, it actually becomes a whole load easier. Just create a site for the current site you're working on, and then uploading becomes simple (ie right click on file/directory/site and choose "Put"). I do have some problems with it as it does sometimes lose the settings (I don't know why), and it's memory usage is high, so running CFMX Developer and DWMX and SQL Server Developer Edition can cause problems (although not too many if you limit SQL Server's and CFMX's Memory usage). My machine? Sony VAIO, Win2k Pro, 256MB RAM, 650Mhz processor. Does the job fine. Rarely have to reboot, sometimes have to shut down processes (but that's not difficult) and doesn't crash (much). Can even run Apache, PHP, MySQL alongside all of this and it still works fine. > I still use CF Studio 5. I can understand this, but I do think if you get into DWMX, it is actually significantly better (so long as you don't use Design view AT ALL) > I would just like to find out other peoples experiences with > DWMX to find out if I'm just too old for change 8-)). You're not too old for change. I have Homesite+ and DWMX on my machine and I used to use CF Studio although I have now uninstalled it as I don't actually think it's worthwhile having it on there. I'd use DWMX over anything, unless you could come up with an editor like DWMX that didn't have the design view aspect (because that's not useful to me). Code completion (for more than just CF), style sheet editing from within the program, sites (ie simple uploading/downloading), CVS integration would be even better etc. Just switch, you'll get used to it!
