Would you say that it is one of the better/key features of the Flex framework?

Simon,
 
Data-binding is good.  Very good.  We advocate it hugely, and the ModelLocator pattern which we added to Cairngorm was our way of encouraging people to leverage data-binding more than we were seeing they were, during consulting engagements.  Have bindings.  Lots of them, between the Model (ModelLocator) and the view (your MXML components).  Let data-binding do the hard work of model-view notifications.
 
Data-binding is simply a short-hand notation for setting up observers/listeners; if you didn't use data-binding, you'd have to do this heavy-lifting yourself.
 
Perhaps data-binding can be abused (used the wrong way - though I can't offer any examples), but overused ?  I don't think so.
 
Best wishes,
 
Steven

For a member of the Cairngorm team or anyone who is a Cairngorm expert:
 
Is it good to use Data Binding with Cairngorm or should it be avoided?
 
Can Data Binding be "overused"?
 
 
Regards,
Simon
