(Maybe I won't have to bother learning Flex, after all.)
I haven't seen a single Flex/Apollo application that provides a pleasing experience. It has nothing to do with being "rich" (a meaninglessly vague term) or not rich and everything to do with Flash interaction feeling foreign, slow, and broken. Then again, pretty colors and shiny things are considered to be pretty compelling these days. Thus, a successful Flex app may require it to feel like interacting with a G-Unit music video. I'm withholding judgment on Slingshot until there are more details. Is it like a virtual machine? Will it be running an http server and/or a database server on the end-user's machine? I think there exist circumstances under which this could be extremely cool, though. In the long term, are basically all business applications, desktop or not, going to have the same latency and pathetic lack of power that web applications have?
