But in general, to address your point, Flex isn't for websites. It's
primary purpose is enterprise applications - though now it's good for
mobile, too.
Our experience is that Flex (on Flash) can still find it's place on
public websites in various apps for generating/editing visual or sound
content.
Ability to efficiently process binary data and vector graphics on the
client side still puts it far ahead of solutions running on bianco
browser engine.
Mobile can be tricky, but with proper code optimizations it's possible
to create high quality mobile apps.
We just delivered an enterprise mobile app with complex UI (iPad,
Android) for a client that will be used for managing board meetings by
corporations and governments.
It was built on 4.6 but we will switch to 4.9 soon and provide a link
for a showcase when they publish it.
Web apps are also a place where Flex can play it's game on a public web.
We use it in our startup project for web and tablet apps.
Our main gains were on development cost and performance.
A really popular JavaScript app of our competitor is miles away in
performance.
We are launching soon and will be happy to share a link for showcase.
Cheers,
Tomislav
