Best ColdFusion editor?

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! Dominic 2008/5/29 Michael Christensen <michael@strib.dk>: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Flex Builder with CFEclipse installed.

TextMate? MD On Thu, May 29, 2008 at 12:12 PM, Dale Fraser <dale@fraser.id.au> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

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. G -- "One man with courage makes a majority." -Andrew Jackson

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

It was for me =)  Adobe offers Flex Builder 3 FREE to educational faculty and staff. Rick On Thu, May 29, 2008 at 9:31 AM, Billy Cox <billy@oldworldspices.com> wrote: > You're not saying that Flexbuilder is free are you? > >

I guess the school of hard knocks doesn't count as an educational institution.  :( It was for me =)  Adobe offers Flex Builder 3 FREE to educational faculty and staff.

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. andy Hey guys We've been talking 'round the office about which editor is best for Coldfusion.

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. On Thu, May 29, 2008 at 8:07 AM, Will Swain <will@hothorse.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
