RE: CF IDE

[Dan Blackman]

Jordan,   Your comments are well received and most of us can relate to your frustrations.  Here is the link to MM Wish Form.  The MM product team does take this stuff seriously and does, sometimes respond to your requests….   http://www.macromedia.com/support/email/wishform/   This is for feature requests, etc.  Be specific in your request and make a feature request, not just a complaint in the form or it’s probably not going to be considered.   Dan   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jordan Gouger Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 11:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: CF IDE   Well I do a lot of development in vb.net as well as CF, and one of the things that I really like about VS.net is that you actually have a true WYSIWIG editor on there, where the controls that are placed in design view are exactly as they appear in the compiled application. I also find that the most aggrivating thing about working with CF is the lack of a real-time syntax checker, as VS.net and most Java IDEs have. Besides these to is the lack of Dreamweaver to recognize an application framework behind other pages, without using live design view. These  are probably my biggest grievances, but there are many others.   When Macromedia bought out Allaire back in the day, they for whatever reason decided to phase out homesite / CF Studio and try to integrate homesite with dreamweaver. This did not work out very well, as dreamweaver simply doesn't do enough to satisfy the hard-core coder, but it is a great middle ground. I could argue for hours over how much better Cold Fusion is over classic ASP and even ASP.net, but the fact of the matter still remains that ASP.net is widely accepted and easy to work with thanks in part to the power of VS.net. I think that Macromedia could compete head-to-head with .net if they possesed an IDE that was comparable to its competition.   Matt Woodward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Can you elaborate on specifically what capabilities of Visual Studio?
