Thanks for all the info everyone. Definitely good stuff to go read and
learn more about. I just get frustrated as things get easier for those
who don't work at it, while those who work at it get set packing.
I'll attack things with open mind and revisit my opinions.

The other issue i see with flex is it's ability to scale. It doesn't
seem to have the ability to handle a ton of simultaneous connections very well, ala Flash Media Server. Perhaps I'm off base
here, but I'd prefer to develop the front ends in flash and communicate back and forth with a traditional back-end I.E. ASP, PHP,
etc. Those things are free to develop on, more prove and seemingly scale a hell of a lot better. Yes, it's not as simple as an
"EASY" button, but if work was easy it'd be fun and we'd all be broke.
Have you looked into FDS?

When you say: develop the front ends in flash
You mean the Flash IDE?
What makes you think developing in Flex does not allow you to communicate with
any traditional back-end?
Flex Builder is just an IDE. The end result is an swf the same as with the Flash IDE. It's just that an swf published from Flash is
currently a different version.
