I think it's a pain that Apple won't allow Flash on their devices and are blocking cross-compiling. I personally like Flex because it seems to be the best way to make cross-platform RIA apps these days - it's a whole lot faster and easier than using a JS framework. I'd really like to see the platform continue to improve and flourish. With that said, Adobe needs to lift their game in some areas. Not picking on Flex or Flash here, but Adobe has really become "the new Microsoft" when it comes to security problems. PDF exploits, as an example, have been in the news a lot this year. Apple and Microsoft both make patching/updating the OS and various critical components a pretty smooth experience. Adobe? I'm technical and fail more often than not. The most reliable thing to do is to download the full installer for the product (if you can find the right version) and install from scratch. Not good.
