Well, the short answer is yes, if you're already familiar with DHTML. Here at Fig Leaf, we've been building very complex and intricate DHTML applications for many years, and they often rival traditional Windows desktop applications in their functionality and flexibility. However, if you were starting from scratch and didn't know either DHTML or Flex, I think Flex would be much easier. In addition, I think Flex applications tend to be a bit more robust and structured than DHTML interfaces, simply because Flex and the Flash runtime take care of a lot of things for you. Those aforementioned DHTML applications tend to be used in intranet environments, where we have complete control of the runtime environment; many of them have used IE-specific functionality. Flex takes care of all those sorts of problems for you, which is very nice. I'm a big fan of Flex, and I think it will become pretty popular over time.
