Official ColdFusion IDE announcedI'll tell you what - once I FOUND the searching tools I started to like them I bet many people do not know about CTRL+h to do searches across these: Across multiple files Across multiple Projects Across your entire workspace Across one or more Working Sets Across multiple select files in the project view Plus it does RegEx and if you dare full search/replace across the same sets. Yes, Eclipse has a big learning curve, but once you learn it's really good. Is Eclipse for everyone? No. We have designers that do a little CF code and there is no way I'd try to make them switch to Eclipse. Myself as a strict programmer I found the switch to be painful and beneficial. Also, if you have not tried Eclipse/CFEclipse in the past year give it another try. The newer versions have improved greatly.
