About JS frameworks, The only option I've been looking recently that makes make think "this could be something like flex" (but it's not today), is Google Dart + Polymer Dart. I think Dart is a cool technology and seems google is pushing it, but in the background behind AngularJS. But there's OOP, classes, development without (that's one of the coolest features). Here's a PDF about it if you're interested:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8496144/dart-and-web-components-javazone-2013.pdf The weak part is the state of Polymer Dart as a web component standard implementation I think they need get a bit far. (For example, for what I see, there's no a list component like in Flex, and If you want to select an item, you need to manualy refresh the drawing of the list and manage all the internal things. I see a friend of mine implementing a polymer component set ala Flex style in this technology and he's getting something cool between the two worlds, but again a single person effort that doesn't follow a global and trending path in this nightmare we are living this days, without doubt, for me, the darkest hours of web development era). I think FlexJS has it own reason to live and could be a great option for people out there, but it need a muscle and union of mind that we don't have today. So it's difficult. It would need real investment of resources and some top companies pushing it forward. I don't think in Adobe, since it's not anymore the kind of company it used to be, and nowadays for me does not have any interest at all, at least for me. We have a marketing problem? for sure, but it's difficult in the actual state of the art make people join the technology. I think it could happen eventually near a 1.0, as technology could make several kind of things. Maybe this cool FlexJS technology could be rebranded or live outside the Flex ecosystem and be revamped so people could see it as something new and fresh. If you ask me about what to spend the time...well, my vote is for FlexJS, since it's the future and Flex (traditional) is enough robust and always will have issues to spend time and fix, but FlexJS is a baby that is in incubation and could not survive without intervention.
