For complex applications Flex is still by far the most productive way to build cross-platform & web enabled apps. Our team has tried everything out there, and so far nothing beats our productivity with Flex, though a few JS frameworks (React/Vue) are showing some promise, but the performance is not what we are looking for. A js->WebASM might work, but your adding so many abstraction layers and working with HTML & JS that dosen't seem like a good idea.

I am curious, what do you guys think about Flash Player and Flash Platform's situation today? is it better or worse than expected 5/6 years ago?
