Hey guys
We've been talking 'round the office about which editor is best for Coldfusion.
A couple of us use HomeSite, others use (CF)Eclipse.
What are YOU using and why? All comments are welcomed.
Eclipse w/ CFEclipse & Subclipse:
CFEclipse is excellent plus having Subversion, CVS and Flexbuilder all in
one IDE is just fabn-bloody-tastic. Oh, and its FREE!

there is no right answer to this question obviously, except this:
The best cf editor is the one that you are most comfortable with and allows
you to work at peak productivity.
For me - even having been using Flex Builder for 2 years now, that editor is
still Homesite+
Rick
I just want to +1 this. You want to use the editor that is best for
you and your team. I will add though that Eclipse takes a bit of
getting used to. It will NOT be as friendly as HomeSite+, but if you
give yourself a week on it, I think you will appreciate it.
I'll also ditto TextMate. I use it for editing files I don't have
Eclipse projects set up for.

I rub two sticks together.
I do adore Eclipse though. Aptana absolutely ROCKS for JS, Ajax and CSS and
AIR development.
I do dust off CF studio for some stuff.
But Rick is right, what ever gets you most productive.

You're not saying that Flexbuilder is free are you?

It was for me =) Adobe offers Flex Builder 3 FREE to educational faculty
and staff.

I guess the school of hard knocks doesn't count as an educational
institution. :(

I only use Eclipse because it has SVN built into it, but I personally don't
like it. It's slow, takes up LOADS of memory on a system that's already
taxed because of multiple instances of ColdFusion, etc. I do like the fact
that it's open source and that it has lots of add-ons, but being "free"
shouldn't mean that it sucks.
As for basic code-writing, I prefer EditPlus. It's highly configurable,
lightweight, fast, and offers everything that I could want in an editor
except for SVN.

Will the built in SVN support in the new dreamweaver encourage people to use
it for cf development I wonder?
I use Eclipse and Dreamweaver - DW for layout and CSS stuff, Eclipse for CF
and Javascript stuff. Eclipse is very slow to start up for me now.

I played with it. Doesn't really do anything for me. Not that I gave
it a fair shake down though. DW just isn't "for me." If you want code
help though, don't use the new DW. It doesn't recognize CF8 tags yet.
