Flexbuilder on MacOSX sucks up memory like a hungry hog. Get 4Gb of
RAM - you'll be glad you did. I'm stuck on an older MBP and 2Gb hasn't
really provided much headroom since I started using FB3. Apart from
that, it's all good. I haven't really had stability problems, just out
of memory situations.

Just general stability, which is (AFAIK) all the fault of the
Eclipse team and Apple HQ's low-prioritising of Java, not Adobe's.
And IIRC there's a small part of the web service -> AS3 generation
stuff missing, but it's never been part of my workflow so I can't
remember what that is. It's in the archives for the list though.

General platform discussions aside, what is it that makes
flexbuilder "slightly worse" on mac than it is in windows?
I'm considering trying out a macbook pro as my next laptop (been on
windows, sometimes linux, for past ten years or so),
but most of my work is in flexbuilder these days so it would be nice
to know.
Many thanks!

Kevlar suit... *check*!
It's good. I'm happy with it, many people are. I think it's much
better, many people agree. And many *other* people here will call me
a big girl for thinking so. Which I find hilarious. But this is a
well-abused topic here. Builder is slightly better in Windows. in my
opinion everything else is better on Mac :)

wondering what your experience might be and if you recommend the
change?
Thanks in advance,
