I've been using the technology since release 2.0. And, I have the full time job of releasing dozens of applications every year since, maintaining a user base of 40,000+ users across the country.
One thing I want to be crystal clear about, is that the *DESIGN VIEW* needs to be adopted in Apache Flex. This NONSENSE about *"programmers worth their salt"* /(to which Nick I wonder if you're the guy going around forums producing this propaganda...which seems oddly familiar)/ which is just nonsense. First of all, I happen to KNOW as a concrete fact that I could put GUI's faster then you using the design view. /(Even assuming you are worth your salt.)/ And here is the kicker, they are going to look better too. Also, when I'm working with all these customers, you know those silly people paying me gobs of money to...you know...program in flex... really respect me for producing a fast GUI mockup I can build as a result of the DESIGN VIEW in FLEX 3~4. You know...when you have REAL WORK TO DO, PRODUCING APPLICATIONS NO ONE HAS SEEN BEFORE. Obviously, when working with labels and repeaters...design view doesn't work that WELL. But I'll happily accept that sacrifice. The design view is the reason I NEVER ADOPTED FLEX 4.6, 4.7 OR Apache Flex 4 pt. whatever it is now. This asset is /*mission critical*/. It might not be a mission critical asset to you Nick, while you build your clunky flex apps, but it is too me. And I swear...if need be I will tear apart all the flex releases and rebuild one which has the DESIGN VIEW, and put that sh!t on pirate bay. People like you are swiftly destroying a great technology, with your illusions of B.S. Still today, we have some form or another of HTML 5, and it still...STILL HAS IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES across browsers. Flex COULD HAVE RESOLVED THIS since it was a plugin, and was actually in the process of doing that. Adobe/Apache Flex tech is slowly being flushed down into the toilet because some programmers helping build the framework didn't know what they were doing... And I know ALLLLL about this...because the SDK install in 4.7 to make flex instantly work in iOS was an TOTAL disaster. Did you guys bother to TRY to load this? Did you see the instruction sheet(s)? What a hot mess, and there were so many instruction variations. And so you release this P.O.S. app (use your imagination) in iOS, and it looks terrible...natively. And...another kicker folks, it's super clunky. Delays in tap actions... and other operations/actions...I wonder why anyone would seriously bother releasing a mobile app in adobe flex. We need to get Apache Flex up to par. It's not going to be easy, but I think in the end it's a good move considering Adobe was seriously fumbling the ball towards the later releases. WE NEED THAT DESIGN VIEW...DUDES & DUDETTES.
