haha jason, mostly bitterness. but some ignorance as well.
as3 came out horray! it has a lot more power and potential. then guess what! adobe makes a markup language that integrates with flash components and makes this enterprise data friendly framework. the very reason i moved to flash was to get away from markup, and those black boxes of my ui components. that is the bitterness. my first thoughts years ago were 'you guys make the language better and you decide to make a framework using markup, what the hell.' my first attempts at using it i thought 'this is the dumbest shit i've ever seen, i feel like i am in dreamweaver again, but its eclipse instead! this blows'. so ya, thats bitter. the ignorance comes from me not having an extensive background with flex. i have never made my own components and i have never published anything using flex for a real, paid project; i have only done simple tutorial things. but still, have <script> tags inline with presentation layer <mxml:bullshit> looks like html and javascript... i am not sure exactly what the ignorance is here, but i know there is something. i do admit, i did not need to tack on the 'useless' part. *yes, its bloated, but it allowed for a lot of oversized, poorly performing data heavy enterprisy applications that all seemed to live in a strange place on the internet. it has done great things. *sarcasm please* are there any Flex guys out there that hate HTML but love Flex? am i wrong to ever use the words hate and love in regards to a 'language'? will i get beaten up for that?
