You mentioned that you can search at site/project level or file level. How can I search for some text at Site/Project level. Thanks, Ajas.

I will keep everyone updated as to how it goes... I might try pro version since i was sent a license for one month trial... on a side note, what version of cfeclipse are you using with your Aptana environment???? also is there a way to show full path of the file thats open in the top title window??? I know you can hover over the tab and it will show the path, but having it appear on top makes me much easier... ;-) on first looks, Aptana looks exactly like eclipse which is a good thing.. I love that they have not changed a lot of things... thanks, Ajas Mohammed.

Aptana has a both site-wide and file search capabilities - since it's free, I strongly recommend giving it a test drive, and make a list of advantages vs. disadvantages it has compared to DW so you can decide which one is best for your team.

"not being able to drag and drop table and column names though has forced me to become more familiar with the data I work with, and as a result, I think, a better coder overall. Less reliance on Design View as well helped push me in that direction." Well, that explains why I became so dependent on this design view. I guess its the right time for me to switch to coding in Aptana/Eclipse so my love for this Design view goes away and it makes me Editor free, so I can pretty much code in any editor. I agree DW is bloated. I will give you an idea why I get stuck with design view. We have an application and we include several pages. Now sometimes, when a new enhancement request comes up for a screen/page at a particular location on the page and if it includes lets say 5 cfm pages, I just open the main page and select the area which needs enhancement. And DW would say in code, that its an included page and then I go to that page and do the enhancement. It has worked really well for me in the last 3 years. This way, I dont have to search for that particular area/context. Even if I had to do text search, DW is nice to let me search through the whole site. I dont know if you can do this in Eclipse(not that I know of) or Aptana i.e. search for something in the whole site. Thanks again, Ajas Mohammed.

Using a tool like Firebug or any of the many Firefox web development plugins tends (for me) to yield better results in terms of working with display code and fine-tuning it. The rendering engine DW uses for it's WYSIWYG view is also inconsistent with how the modern browsers display. I forgot to mention that Aptana uses CF Eclipse as a plug in to enable CF code formatting and function reference. I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking Aptana is a native CF IDE. For what it's worth, I've always been a die-hard Adobe/Dreamweaver fan, but CS3's bloat really started hampering my development at work, and the Mac version's even worse at home - Aptana offers a cross-platform, consistent experience for me, that is much faster and responsive when working - my only lament is the lack of database integration that I liked from Dreamweaver - not being able to drag and drop table and column names though has forced me to become more familiar with the data I work with, and as a result, I think, a better coder overall. Less reliance on Design View as well helped push me in that direction. James E. Thomas Baker Botts L.L.P.

I remember I had that plugin installed in Eclipse for CSS/JavaScript. I will check on this myself, but do you happen to know if Aptana has design view like DW? Honestly, thats the only reason, we are stuck with DW. I started using Eclipse long time back and I just love it. It just that sometimes, design view can be of so much help. Thanks.

Adobe's Dreamweaver has (in my opinion) become bloated, and too resource-intensive. Unless the upcoming CS4 edition addresses some of these issues, then I'm sticking to open-source and alternative software for CF development. James E. Thomas Baker Botts L.L.P.
