I use DWMX for my coding of CFMX. it might be strange but it’s the closest that I have been able to get to CF Studio of the past (in my opinion the bast text editor that has ever existed for html and CF coding). I am on a MAC and there is no CF studio. BBedit is great but it’s generic nature is not what I need.
With that said the new version of DWMX 2004 for Mac, which I have been using for the last 20 days, is disappointing. It does fix a bunch of issues that I had the the earlier version but it’s so slow and cumbersome that I have grown frustrated with using it. And i have a powerful machine. 17″ Powerbook RAM and CPU maxed out. not to mention I am a keyboard person. I know all the hot-keys and use them often. and they eliminated the one hot-key that I used most often and that was opening and close files with the Site window. you can now only open a file with the mouse, ugh!
and the auto-complete for cfscripting has been changed to my dissatisfaction. it no longer will they auto-complete but have an information widow popup. not too bad but slows me down.
they improved everything else but slowed down or eliminated all the functions that I use most often. It makes me laugh, and saddens me at the same time.
the trial version is here for your testing pleasure: http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/
