Do you use other peoples code? Of course you do, if only the mx classes. Do you know every detail of every implementation? Probably not, why would you want to. Isn't MXML doing the same thing? The syntax is different, the language structure is different and this is probably what your not comfortable with. The bottom line is, as always, productivity. The developers salary is the chief cost of software isn't it? Editors with syntax coloring and error checking, High level languages, the whole oop concept, and visual editors. I know a computer science student who does everything writes everything in Notepad, but is anyone going to let him do that on the job? You need to knows what's going on in your app, but you also must embrace the tools that increase your productivity.
