I would hope they would fix the bugs in the current version that cause DWMX to corrupt files.
For example, if a <CFINCLUDE> tag is placed within a <script> block, it is replaced with garbage as soon as the file is opened. Then if the file is saved it becomes corrupted.
MM is aware of this bug but instead of fixing it they published a technical bulletin basically saying not to put the <CFINCLUDE> tag within a <script> block. That doesn't help much if you open an existing file w/o even being aware that condition exists, make changes in another part of the file and save it. That's what happened to me when I first discovered the bug.
I have just confirmed another case where DWMX changes the location of a </cfloop> tag immediately upon opening the file. I discovered that the hard way also, made some changes in another part of the file and saved it. Only discovered the unwanted changes by comparing with a copy of the file prior to my making changes.
If you have "code rewriting" turned off (as I have) DWMX should never make any changes to the file on its own.
