It's Day 3 of CFUNITED and I had the pleasure of seeing Mark Drew present on Advanced CFEclipse. It's cool to see the main developer use the product how he envisions it to be used.

I started using CFEclipse so long ago that I have forgotten how long it's been now. But the first thing I must have done is removed the Outline, Methods, and Dictionary views from my default perspective (probably because they take up screen space I would rather dedicate to viewing my code). Mark demo'd these views and showed how useful they can be to developers and I think I made a mistake when I removed them. I have now reset my CFEclipse perspective to the default so I can use these views again.

One of the main reasons I have kept HomeSite+ installed on my Windows system is that I love the Function/Tag explorer built-in to it (Right Click > Edit Expression). I didn't know that I get almost the exact same functionality with CFEclipse's Dictionary view. I am now going to be opening HomeSite+ a lot less. I also hate to say it, but also this takes some of the need for CFQuickDocs away as well (sorry Jake).

If CFEclipse could gain a Search/Replace tool set that could match HomeSite+ I think I could complete ditch it (come on, multi-line strings please).
