If you're the kind of guy who likes a fancy-schmancy IDE, Eclipse might be 
for you. Anything is probably better than ColdFusion, except for maybe 
DreamWeaver, FrontPage, or MS Word. Personally, I'm a big fan of 
emacs/xemacs for my development in any language. It does very well with 
PHP, javascript, java, C/C++, or whatever. Doesn't require java, either.
