Mark... Just to be nitpicky...you can't compare full versions of Studio or CS because they each contain multiple programs, Studio has 5 and CS has 4. From what I've heard here, Flex is just...well...Flex. You're paying $1000 for one application.

A full version of Adobe creative suite is $1200. Upgrades of course are much less expensive. People are already working on alternatives using primalScript and ANT. For me, I have already set aside my $1000. Adobe's will be the best for sure and will be the only one with a visual design component similar to dreamweaver. And from what I have seen, it is quite useful. To each there own. Mark -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 9:01 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Flex 2 and Ben Forta It's hard for me to believe an IDE would be worth $1000 (oh, excuse, me $999, which is less than $1000 :P ) Most design software, whether it's for web design, as in Dreamweaver, photo manipulation, as in Photoshop, graphics, as in Illustrator, etc., is not even that much...most of it not anywhere near $1000 unless you get everything in a bundle. Perhaps I'm just showing my ignorance about the Flex IDE, but with it priced so high (I don't, at this point, see how it could possibly be worth that much money), it's wide open for a company with hungrier developers to come in and sell something for half that and take a lot of business from Adobe and Flex...what makes it worth $1000?
