Well,
Flex is a nice product, with some nice features and an
awesome library of components. Although, I have some
things that don't like and I'll mention them below.
Flex was surprisingly very well accepted in the
financial world...and people with deep pockets paid
12k/2xcpu without hesitation... that made MM think
about reconsidering their price policy and consider
Flex as a true "enterprise" solution, when in fact the
product is quite limited in some regards and some bugs
are really annoying - no offence, and apologize if I
hurt somebody... Now, with this merger on the horizon
it's very unlikely that Adobe will shutdown this
product but might raise a red flag for people that
already bought this product or intended to buy...
This can be fatal for Flex growth... and let's face it
are many great products on the market that couldn't
sustain themselves without a good marketing
strategy... look no further than Sun applications...
In conclusion, Flex market might cool off a bit.... in
the same time the projects developed in the last 6
months will be released in production... Depending on
the success of those projects Flex might be or not
around.... So don't be concern that Adobe will
shutdown a successful product... Flex will die on his
hand if the product will not became a serious player
in the UI area... in regard with "enterprise" scale of
Flex is still arguable and not consider it a true
enterprise product, but maybe are different flavors of
"enterprise" these days... Although, "Flex is
enterprise solution, AS2 is OO" sounds nice when sell
this product... :)
Best regards,
Michael
I'll look forward seeing this product one year from
now and the evolution of it...
