Hi Jamie.
- Love Flex. Has enabled us non flash developers to build very
productive and intuitive applications; and in some cases applications
that weren't even feasible if limited to just HTML and Javascript.
- The big problem area for enterprise developers (in my opinion) is that
there's no file upload capability. So if you're building anything
related to content management it's not so straight forward. There's an
article on flexauthority.com that has a work-around. The Flex team is
furiously coding away on Flex 2.0 which will address a lot of the sought
after wish list items (eg ways of doing certain things faster and
easier), and taking advantage of new features in the next version of the
Flash player.
