No idea why they would think that. Adobe still offer paid support for Flex and AIR (as far as I'm aware) - and there are still companies that offer commercial support for Flex and AIR. And here's a short list of what community support have given Apache Flex: - Released versions 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12 is likely to be in a month or two. - Wider Flash Player and AIR version support including support for Linux - New spark components - New mobile dpi skins - There's been over 1000 resolved JIRA issues since the donation to Apache, including "old" bugs Adobe had marked they wouldn't fix or fix later. - Significant speed and memory GC improvements. - Close to 20,000 installs of the SDK via the installer in the last 5 months. - Work on JS version of the Flex SDK progressing nicely. And probably lots I've missed out on in that list, but community support is more a reason to use Apache Flex rather than not use it. Thanks, Justin
