Do you have reliable sources that supports this claim of yours? I never
heard that. Becouse you know, this is something big and would piss a lot of
people off. I don't think Eclipse foundation has a "platform of choice".
They should and they do support all of the platform equally well or not
support the platform at all at each release.

Exactly. It is way too expensive. They kind of monopolized this thing, as
the market is really a niche Flex Builder doesn't cover.

If you are not an influent flash open source developer, you'd better get a
very good job if you want to get it. The fact is that it is overpriced, and
they can do that, unfortunately.

I find the guys at powerflasher very arrogant.
