I suppose that is the nature of the beast.  ColdFusion development was only
wedged into DW post-MM takeover and it is aimed at a different kind of
developer than Eclipse has.  While a lot of experienced developers use DW
for whatever reason, I would say most use Eclipse and it's a logical
decision for Adobe to target that audience - it also no doubt shows how DW
has been selling in this arena.DW is a visual tool - it is not a serious
development IDE for anything other than HTML/CSS (even coder view is just
an homage (which was added by request) to a better IDE for development)

for CF8:

First is an AJAX Wizard for Eclipse:

What do you mean un-backed?

CFEclipse has the backing from Adobe. It isnt going anywhere.

you could say the same about Flex since the sdk is being open sourced.

I suspect that Adobe might provide an AJAX/CF wizard for Dreamweaver, just
like they've plugged Spry functionality into DW9 already. Debugging might be
a little harder, though.

But anyway, Adobe has made a pretty big commitment to Eclipse. You're
probably already familiar with FlexBuilder, but Eclipse is also the platform
to be used with the new LiveCycle ES programming tools, replacing the
various things they'd built in-house (and working exponentially better,
also!) LiveCycle Designer, the forms builder provided with Acrobat
Professional, will be available as an Eclipse plugin!

Adobe do have a say as they are part of the foundation

http://www.adobe.com/macromedia/proom/pr/2005/eclipse_flashplatform.html

Put the point of Eclipse is that others can create plugins for the platform
be it free (CFE) or commercial (flexBuilder / MyEclipse)

With many other companies supplying Eclipse plugins (XML SPY etc) means you
have one tool environment to do all your development with out having to open
many applications, making life easier in my view.

Certainly no one should underestimate the time Mark spends on this project!

His work on the new frameworks explorer plugin is awesome - it's
already making me more productive and I'm very grateful for that. He
has two more projects in the works, to be announced at Scotch and at
CFUNITED.

Adobe help where they can and Mark consults them on stuff but they
don't drive the project, as far as I can tell.

Adobe has made a significant investment in the Eclipse platform for
their development tools, however, and FlexBuilder is both an official
Adobe product and Eclipse-based.  It seems pretty obvious that that's
the way of the future for Adobe.  I'd be shocked if Photoshop was ever
an Eclipse-based product, but where you're not the giant already, but
can stand on the shoulders of giants...

Like it or not, Eclipse is a powerhouse in the tool arena (at least
outside the sphere of Microsoft), and more and more offerings
(commercial or otherwise) are leveraging that platform.  If you're
doing Java-related development (as ColdFusion is), the base tooling is
even more powerful.  For example, if you're willing to do the Java-CF
reverse translation (which is reasonably straightforward), and willing
to use infinite loops instead of breakpoint callouts, you can use the
stock Eclipse JDT for debugging CF applications.  Tacking on those two
relatively trivial aspects of debugging to the existing Java debugging
tooling in Eclipse sure seems like a no brainer compared to writing a
debugger from scratch on the DW platform.

Which isn't to say that I'm blind to the fact that they're alienating
users of DW (their own product!) for those using Eclipse (probably
with CFEclipse - an unbacked open source product - though FlexBuilder
is Eclipse based and an official Adobe product), but without knowing
what goes on behind closed doors, it seems like they've made a good
