As well as the IDE questions (Adobe is holding a ColdFusion IDE survey) why not also let Adobe know what you'd like to see in ColdFusion 9, via their latest survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=yLcENFTqjkIn6gqoFpRiUQ_3d_3d
Good to see Flex/AIR in there already. Are they thinking a CFFLEX tag to make an AJAX app operate off line or some sort of conduit to fetch data from a AIR desktop application ? What about dragging a table off the web page onto the desktop to create a AIR version of the table ?
Also fun to think about is audio/video integration (CFVIDEO tag ?).
