Well now we're really warping this thread's subject...

I haven't used DW for a while, so I forgot about all that helpful stuff it does. I probably turned that 'feature' off back when I used it.
There have already been discussions on which IDE folks prefer, some even on this group. I defer to your search engine for that research.

However, no two editors are the same. Some have features that others don't. There were some in DW that I thought I was going to die without having in Eclipse. For many of those, I would later say: "oh, now I see how they do THAT here". I honestly can't remember what the others were anymore.

One thing's for sure: If you're going to work in I.T. - you just can NOT get too comfortable with anything for too long.

It's not about one large file. Besides bad design, how would you find anything in it?  When dreamweaver loads a file, it loads all it's associated files, so if you are working on one page and have tinyMCE, jquery, jqueryUI, modernizer, and various CFINCLUDE, _javascript_, etc. files added to that page Dreamweaver loads it all into memory.   The more you type in _javascript_ the slower the error checking (as in, after you correct something it still says it is wrong) becomes as well as typing.  Then it begins to do weird stuff when you goto select a file. 

The bigger my site gets the more cranky Dreamweaver comes and I am getting quite tired of it as it is robbing me of my precious coding time.  I am just not sure if I can make eclipse replicate Dreamweavers functions I like such as autofill, autp upload after save, load the resources to the page.

I recall having one of my contracts cut short at a LA/TX services firm, just after I mentioned that I thought something was fundamentally amiss - with a design that required a single cfc file to get that large.

But I did learn (to keep quiet when maintaining code unless asked, and) that Eclipse could work with files that huge, even though they really shouldn't ever BE that huge. Damn, there I go again...

You probably need to tweak the memory settings a lot. The Eclipse File Explorer window has something called a "Virtual Filesystem" that you could probably use to create a Project (like a DW "site"). There's a thin FTP client in there... and a line numbering option too.

Sheer curiousity and to figure out what breaks dreamweaver.  Somewhere around 26,000 lines of code or 943,000 characters is when dreamweaver begins to exhibit slowness/strange behavior.

Been looking at eclipse, but I dont have time to figure out how to set it up to do websites with auto ftp like dreamweaver does.

Seriously, though... I've never had a need for one and - like you did - I would probably just write a little CFLOOP gizmo to do that. What do you use it for? Billing?

No, I mean, I have a little script that counts how many lines of code you have written for your site (and characters).  I was looking to see if there were any other ones around.

You want a counter just to display code on a page or do you want to use this for something else?
To just diplay code on a page there are several CSS/_javascript_ version around.  The OpenBD homepage is using such to diplay code.. for example on the NSIS instructions for the OpenBD.Local  http://openbd.org/manual/?/local_nsis

Does anyone have a line counter for code? I wrote one a while back, really simple one, if anyone wants it. I was just curious if there are any available out there for download.
