No. ColdFusion is a scripting language similar to PHP. ColdFusion integrates its code (CFML) with standard HTML code. You can use any standard Web development application or text editor to create ColdFusion Web pages.
However, if you plan on building a large or complex Web application, you may want to use the latest version of Macromedia Dreamweaver. New Dreamweaver extensions included with ColdFusion make it easier to develop ColdFusion applications using Dreamweaver.
