Flex Builder 3 has only been out for a year; and it is the open source license that makes alternative IDEs much easier to build / use. These things don't crop up over night.

Flex Builder works good enough for what I need it to do. Why would I try to create a new IDE? I suspect a lot of the Flex Builder quirks are Eclipse related; which means to do it better I'd have to either start from scratch or find an alternate pluggable architecture.
