Tom, You need to give yourself an hourly rate and then ask yourself how much money the IDE will save you. The effort involved in not using the IDE could end up costing you more in the long run.
I do think the charting is just a nice to have, and people will release their own cheap/free charting components so you can save yourself even more money by not going for that option. 2 years from now when somebody releases flexClipse (tm) free IDE then this may be a different conversation.:) gotgoose09 wrote: > > It's so much easier with Flex Builder though. :) Until something free > with Flex code completion comes out I'd rather use Flex Builder. > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Tom Chiverton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > On Thursday 27 July 2006 16:30, Shannon Hicks wrote: > > > Download the trial versions of Flex 2, or go buy a retail copy > ($749 with > > > charting) or an educational copy ($79 with charting). > > > > I've a better idea. > > Download the free SDK and don't pay anything.
