I can't. The only reason why I was going back to FB for a while was for the design view (sometimes it is easier to lay things out on the the screen instead of count pixels before you do the coding). Since DV is dead and gone, there was no reason to keep FB around other than to test things for the SDK. > 4.

Flex isn't as popular as it was, but it is VERY well supported. Because the structure is close to Java and others, they are able to do some really nice parsing on your code which makes it 20 steps ahead of the other guys. Oh, and its not based on Eclipse...
