CF does NOT have a GUI in the sense of FrontPage or NC! The CF

GUI.
And you can write CF code in a plain text editor if you want to. The only
thing Studio gives you is the same functionality of BBEdit or HomeSite --
shortcuts to tags (and shortcuts that you can create yourself).
YOU LOOK AT THE CODE .... there are some "wizard" like things, but in my
experience they take longer than typing the code. However, for folks who
aren't fast typists, they may make sense.
