Stuff
You seem to ignore the components that Flash does ship with. We can fight about whose components are the best, but I am not interested in that.
I also never claimed that they where rivals, I see them as different tools designed for different tasks.
You seem to think that importing stuff already made in Flash is the same as having all the features of Flash. I disagree. You do not get the same swf structure in the end. I am not even sure if the flex compiler even retains framelabels. I know for sure that it does not retain the document class. Given that it has a tendency to be critical for proper execution when used, removing it makes the swf useless.
Oh, and as previously discussed, you need to use Flash in addition to Flex in order to import Flash assets. That's one more license you have to pay for.
Either you use only the Flex sdk, Flex builder and the sdk, only Flash or Flash, flex sdk and flex builder. Using only Flash costs less than using Flash and Flex builder. But using only Flex builder costs less than only using Flash.
Of course, there are other editors (like notepad and flash develop) that you can use. But I know of no editor that has a working debugger other than Flash and Flex builder.
