Brendan, DARN good question!!! 1) I wanted to build an entire site in Flex. Why? Same reason the guy climbed Everest - because it was there. 2) I had originally started the project in PHP and AJAX using a freebie template I'd found. Between getting bogged down in a mire of DIV tags and all kinds of issues setting up the checkout to go to authorize.net I finally had to give up on it for a while. (As you might guess manure doesn't pay the bills). Once I started with flex I was off to the races. 3) UI options galore! Without all of the AJAX/DIV/HTML nightmare associated with it. (Did I mention all of the IE vs. Firefox issues to test and deal with? 4) C'mon man! Flex is freaking cool!
