Hi! One of the goals of JavaFX is to appeal to the designer crowd that probably uses Adobe Flash / Flex / AIR now. Sun also likes to point out that the Java VM is much more capable than the Flash Player with all it's rendering and media codec power.
As an example that even with the less-capable Flash Player you can do amazing things if you just get the right designers, take a look at what was voted Flash site of the year (see http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/2009/01/congrats-to-the-eco-zoo-winner-of-the-fwa-site-of-the-year-award/): the "Eco Zoo". http://ecodazoo.com/ On the site. click with the left mouse and drag, click on the animal icons, and click the book button. :-) I'm pretty sure JavaFX can do that, but when you look at the JavaFX sample site (http://www.javafx.com/samples/#0), you see, for the lack of a better term, "developer demos" with source code. I don't think this is very appealing to designers - an app like the Eco Zoo would be. So is JavaFX (currently) not targeted at designers, am I not seeing the right demos, or am I missing something here?
