Erm...

Coldfusion is a server-side scripting language, it enables you to create dynamic webpages (basically) its used mainly for retrieving data from server-side databases.

Freehand is a vector-based graphics application.

Homesite is a WYSIWYG editor (I think)... but thats a guess as I've never used it and only ever heard it mentioned in passing.

Finally I don't mind helping, but is this really the correct forum for asking these questions?

Homesite is a text-only IDE. Use Dreamweaver if you need a WYSInWYG.

Coldfusion is a scripting language in itself, not something used to program another language.

It depends what you want to do, if it's bitmap (photo) manipulation then Photoshop (although its expensive - try Paint Shop Pro first) if its working with vectors then freehand.

It's not a case of one being better than the other, it's a case of them both being designed for different things.

PHP & Coldfusion are very similar in theory, it's just their methods that different (CFML is Tag-based & php is pure scripting).

As for showing you why not take a look on google for some beginners tutorials as I think thats your best bet.
