I'm not afraid of bouncing balls. Flex is about user experience. That's why bouncing and a lot more of the old flash stuff is/was important. Flex seems like the professional manifestation of what has been discovered experimentally over years. The last years where a little bit quiet in this regard, with people moving on to other environments like processing. My hope is though, that the new possibilities and increased performance bring back some of the excitement. Thomas' 3D framework Sandy ( http://osflash.org/sandy ) is a nice example of this. 3D doesn't need to be like your average 50 mio dollar game. Give people an easily accessible scenery, some lights and a camera, and we'll see very new and refreshing ideas for nice userinterfaces.
