The move to Eclipse.

I recently moved from developing CF in Dreamweaver to Eclipse. I have on more than one occasion tried Eclipse with CFEclipse but was constantly annoyed as it would randomly crash and the abilty to double click a cfc or cfm is not part of Eclipse. The issues were slightly worse when i upgraded to Vista.

So with the advent of Flex, which I have started working with, the decision was made much eaiser. Flex Builder feels more stable and with CFeclipse plugin I have the best of both worlds. I'm really enjoying the IDE and am now reviewing SVN and SQL explorer plugins.

One of the best features is that it's the same at home on my Macbook and Ubuntu box although I still have the occasional issue with RDS but I really shoudn't ever edit live code so it's not really an issue.

So far so good.

 
There is definitely a little bit of burn-in time going from Dreamweaver to Eclipse. But, I bet if you stick with it long enough you will find that you will not end up back in any other IDE.

Eclipse stability can be improved greatly by increasing Java's Max PermGen Memory allocation. See here (http://blog.xam.dk/archives/68-Eclipse-and-memory-...) for a detailed solution.
