While wandering around the product gallery at a ColdFusion conference, I was able to grab one of the Macromedia folks. I had a very simple question for the gentleman: Were there any future plans for poor old HomeSite? And I got a response remarkably close to, "HomeSite what?" He did eventually recall this long-ignored bygone from the Allaire era. He then promptly called over his fellow co-worker to gawk at the code-jockey who was too stubborn to give in and convert to Dreamweaver. They proceeded to poke me with sticks and insult my heritage. Okay, I made that last part up. The two gentlemen were actually quite helpful and nice. But this event solidified one thing that I had known for quite some time: HomeSite is a dead product. Do not despair, my fellow code-jockeys. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and its name is CFEclipse.
