I think jtgxbass was a little blunt about it, but I basically agree with his points.
I use MTASC every single day and my business depends on it. But I can afford to depend on it because I know that if MTASC fails at something (never happened btw) I can always compile in the Flash IDE, because AS2 is a "standard". Nicolas, you are definitely a genius; but you are only one man and time has told that you are the only one who can speak OCAML. If I bet my business on haXe instead of AS3 and something happened to you (god forbid), I would be in a tight spot to say the least. I can't implore you enough to put some effort into an AS3 compiler - I would love to ditch macromedia's java-based compiler, even if it is free.
