I don't think anyone knows the answer to that yet (at least from the Max
demo) - except Adobe people and a few Adobe insiders.

Hmmm...
Thanks Jason, but I am not sure you quite got the gist of my
question. Perhaps I was unclear. I was under no illusion that one would
be creating business logic in Thermo. My question is whether the
workflow between caringorm delegates, commands, etc and the Thermo UI
code will be easily maintained separately. Will we be able to embed
cairngorm commands and model access in the UI stuff that is generated by
Thermo. Will the round-tripping work. Does the conceived work flow
target the cairngorm developer along side the designer in a smooth way.

I was there for the Thermo demo (which was awesome), and
they basically said Thermo is for designing Flex apps and jump-starting

am MXML app. You can have a designer work with Thermo, while the
developer works with Flex.

From the videos, I would surmise that Thermo is
a very nice screen design
tool, but doesn't automatically include anything
else besides basic
interactions. You just need to add the other
architectural layers (as per
cairngorm) yourself. It really doesn't seem to
affect business and
communications logic at all.
I'm not sure what transition is required. It
replaces aspects of the current
flexbuilder design view and includes extra
functionality and intelligent
importation of graphical elements.
