So all the huff n puff goin' on, I've been playing with FDT and also googled about it - and found Jesse's blog post
http://flashartofwar.com/2008/04/24/flexbuilder-3-vs-fdt-3/ So far all I can gather is that FDT is just a different IDE for Flex. Does it just have more bells and whistles? Jesse mentioned in his post about templates and code hinting... That's the LAST thing I want. Hell, I try to code as much as possible in Textmate ( ill post about this ). I want to write my own code - not big brother writing it for me. Plus, for me, that's the best way to learn an API - by having to know the components and their respective utilization. I mean.... right...? Alan
