i'm glad you brought that up, indeed it isn't up to par with the windows ver., the 100% usage bug is also highly annoying. also, one of the major benefits of going native, well for me at least, is using the native font rendering, i like being able to customise the hint settings for a particular font ... how flash offer this? i believe Mono might as they use FreeType, but i could be wrong. > Flex has its place, > especially in the business app world, but is disliked by many and the > interfaces are often clumsy or even inaccessible to some.
