William, This came up on FlexCoders last month. Following is a link to a reply I posted there (that in turn includes links out to other sources): http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/59767
I am interested in a thorough comparison of Flex 2 vs Laszlo, so if anyone can provide a link I would appreciate it. Has anyone here actually used Laszlo? Can anyone provide first hand impressions? Following are a few more bits of what I have heard. Back in the Flex 1.x days the price difference between Flex and Laszlo was enormous. Since Adobe rationalized pricing with Flex 2, Laszlo's price advantage now is negligible. At this point, the only runtime Flex 2 targets is Flash Player 9/AS3. Laszlo targets FP7/AS2, plus Ajax/DHTML and soon Java ME. I believe Laszlo shows future development targeting FP9/AS3.
From what I can tell, Laszlo has limited IDE support. Or at least not as
robust a support as Flex Builder 2 provide for Flex 2 development. Back in 2005 an IBM alphaworks project was announced to provide Laszlo support in Eclipse: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/ide4laszlo hth, g On 1/29/07, William Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am looking at both of these and they seem to be pretty similar. I was looking for people who have used both and the pros/cons of each. Also just a general overall opinion. Thanks.
