And also personally, I don't think I will ever use Flash forms, or auto-generated forms by ColdFusion, you always have to do a lot of work to let it fit into the application. The chances that I use the event gateway are way much higher, but as someone already said, it depends on the model and since we haven't seen any model or code it is hard to discuss about it or to form an opinion about it.
Personally, for me the selling points in Blackstone are the reporting features, the cfdocument tag, and the compiled deployment of files. If you are a basic ColdFusion user, flashy forms are nice, but for me, as I use and code in _javascript_ extensivily, Flash forms are unsufficient and cause to much overhead in the bigger picture.
I now this is a feature Macromedia has to push, because of the rich internet model strategy combined with Flex etc., but I am kinda resistant to those niché things which seem to cost me more time than they promise. "Customer A; I don't like the blue spot" "Customer B; I miss this and this functionality" .. .. I guess I ended up starting FlashMX, developing the missing parts, and still it doesn't react or isn't as fast as ordinary markup with _javascript_. :)
