Where is the pro/community edition at with the future of integrating CFML?

This niche market is growing pretty fast, and an IDE like yours would be perfect for adding CFML support. Please add it as options are limited and CFML is growing maybe faster yet with Bluedragon releasing an open source version (which of course could prompt Adobe to do the same with the standard edition).

I know the ColdFusion community would love to see your product added to our available options.

I also would stress that I would be much more apt to purchase the pro edition if it offered ColdFusion support. I am currently looking at using the Eclipse plug-in just to get some of this functionality with CFEclipse, but would prefer to not have to use Eclipse.

I appears you have an amazing product, but it's missing the most important piece: ColdFusion support. I'm tired of using Dreamweaver CS3 which forced me to install a plug-in just to get proper ColdFusion support. That is ridiculous since they primarily push CF now.

Thanks for your time in advance!

Eclipse is a wonderful product, hands down the best Java IDE and the pluggable environment allows you to extend the IDE to support anything imaginable, except ColdFusion. Mark did a wonderful job initially adding CF support to Eclipse, however the codebase is rarely updated, doesn't support to full language, is completely buggy and most important of all is he refuses to listen to his users and is only interested in developing CFEclipse to support his own style of development.

I have come to put up with all the bugs and annoyances of CFEclipse, because of the other time saving plugins (datatools platform, coldfusion debugger, subclipse. mylyn, ant) and only having to know one editor for my Java and CF development, but I am annoyed daily with CFEclipse and Mark has no interest in fixing the product. Currently the only feature of Aptana I use is the synchronization and thus am not a paid licensed user. If Aptana supported CF nicely and we were no longer forced to use CFE, I would gladly remove Dreamweaver from my entire development team computers and replace them with Aptana Pro licenses. Under one condition of course, it is not a joint effort with Mark Drew and he has no say in the direction of the plugin's future. I mean no disrepect to him, as he has spent countless time and effort to develop the plugin and make it freely available to the public, we just need a second and better option.

Aptana has great support for other tag based languages, it would be great to see that extended to CFML. In fact, I was going to start extending the HTML editor this weekend to support CFML tags. It may not be the best route, but atleast I can ditch CFE then. Since Aptana has already added support for PHP and Ruby, as well as AIR and iPhone, CFML should not be outside of scope. If this gets implemented, you have my thanks in advance.
