No. I went to Spark first because I figured that more folks are using Spark than MX these days and didn’t want folks to discount FlexJS as being targeted towards older apps. You can compare the MX FlexStore against the FlexJSStore and see that there are a lot of similarities there. FlexJS is being designed on purpose to support multiple component sets. The FlexJSStore example uses the basic component set we’ve written from scratch. Next to it in the repo is a version of FlexJSStore that uses Jquery UI widgets. I had envisioned writing the beginnings of a more Spark-like and/or MX-like component set to see if that would cut down on the migration effort and seee if it results in larger JS output and lower performance. I may still get to that, but first I want to finish a few other things. Any other volunteer is welcome to get started on that. The key thing to remember is that this is an Apache effort even though my adobe.com email keeps showing up on the list. What FlexJS becomes and how soon, and what component APIs it gets sooner rather than later is up to you. We need more folks to help out in any way they can. There is no corporation that is going get a team of developers to create a product and market it like Adobe used to. And IMO, those who join in sooner and therefore have more experience with FlexJS will have an advantage over others if FlexJS gets some traction and folks start looking for FlexJS developers. Also, set your short-term expectations on what Flex 1 or Flex 2 was. It was enough to get the ball rolling, but nothing like Flex 3 or Flex 4. We can probably eventually get to something like Flex 3 or Flex 4 but it takes time depending on how many people we get working on it.
