OT: Pointless Friday Observation

Here's one for you to ponder (and if you're reading this you are as ready for the weekend as I am). I started using CFEclipse a few months ago as my full time coding environment. So far I'm pretty much in love with it. It takes a little getting used to, but since Mark Drew and crew (The Drew Crew?) do such a fantastic job I'm finding it easier to get comfortable with. So one of the things that truly sets it apart from your average text editor is the integrated browser. How freaking cool is that? The only thing that would make it better would be integrated Firefox, but hey we can't have everything! ;) Speaking of that integrated browser, here's my pointless observation. 90% of the time when I'm checking out my wonderful work in the integrated browser I find myself mousing back down to the taskbar to switch back to my editor when I'm ready to make some more changes. I can't help it - it's just habit!! I'm sure I'll break it in time. It's almost as bad as mousing to the upper left of the browser in IE 7 to refresh the page - every single time. I can not stand that! I mean bravo, you integrated the 'Go' and 'Refresh' buttons into one button, but 10+ years of browsing has told me that the refresh button is in the top left corner! Before someone brings it up, yes I know F5 will refresh - its just one of the keyboard shortcuts I never got in the habit of using. OK I'm done now - but feel free to share your random Friday observations.
