Hi Robert
I agree that there is something vaguely distasteful about Adobe
becoming a competitor to its developers (which Scene7 seems to be),
however I also doubt that this is likely in the foreseeable future to
have a significant impact on any of us. However, it is definitely
worth letting Adobe know that we are watching closely and that
developer loyalty is earned, not a given.
Although this list is primarily to discuss code, I think it's valid to
have an occasional post like this that discusses Flex's place in the
market relative to competing products, as we are all making an
investment in this technology and therefore have a stake in its success.
Given the volume of email this list generates, I think the occasional
thread like this should be tolerated. I don't like to see people being
howled down by a vocal few who think they know what's best for the
silent majority and I don't see any need to be rude to anyone by using
expressions that could be interpreted as personal insults.
I also think if you start a thread like this you need to be mindful
that it will be seen as off-topic by many on the list and so should be
kept brief and to the point. When your topic becomes a personal
crusade it's time to take it off-list.

First of all, this is very relevant to the FLEX coders development
