I was checking out this CFUnited post on what people are looking forward to seeing at CFUnited. This comment from Marc Escher caught my eye:
Question: A recent hot topic?
Marc: One that doesn’t get much press but which is on the minds of many is whether Adobe’s going to come out with a CF IDE. [...]

Hopefully there are more than 300 ColdFusion developers out there…
If you haven’t taken it yet - please consider taking a few moments [...]

I’ve copied the original questions from the Adobe survey and added a few John Farrar sent me after some discussions on this open Aptana support ticket.
