ColdFusion IDE? Visual Studio Plugin?

Question

I just took a web contract to fix up an existing site written in ColdFusion. I haven't had a chance to peak at the code yet, but the site itself is riddled with problems. Anyway, I've never used ColdFusion before, and barely know anything about it. Tutorials shouldn't be too hard to find, but what about an IDE? Is there a nice Visual Studio plugin? Or do I even need one?

The official ColdFusion IDE from Adobe is ColdFusion Builder (in beta 3 right now, 1.0 final later this year).

It is Eclipse based (same as CFEclipse), and it will not be free (unlike CFEclipse).

If you already have Dreamweaver, you can install an extension and make it an IDE for CF as well.
