I can tell you only based on what I have seen at Adobe Max Molehill presentation as well as some info I heard from a friend of mine that got the Player for tests from Adobe (being their solution partner). First you have all the current 2.5 API ,and part of it you will use with the Molehill API as you will need to push vertices (and triangles) in Vector3D and heavily use Matrix3D for their transformation. Now the stress is really on HEAVY USE of this stuff.The Molehill is really low level shit (you have got even some Assembly chunks there). It is even not like an OpenGL or Direct3D . It does resemble these libs in some way ,primary by the way you write the stuff. But think of it this way :In Molehill you even don't have a camera ,no lights ,no primitives .All the tools you will get will deal with vertices and triangles manipulation .So it is really designated for experienced 3d programmers.Anyways, first I am sure that Away3D engine will make Molehill "user friendly" ,but if you really plan to write your own 3d engine with it, DirectX and OpenGL can be really helpful .
