Yeah,
That struggle was evident from the transition of MS DOS to Windows...
Application centric internet/desktop IS the future, just depends on the road
we take to get there.

Randy,
I second that sentiment! Flex kicks ass!
I am still struggling with the 100% Flex site structure. Will it be too
much out of the gate? Will users get turned off everytime they see a
site using flash/flex, because so many developers are going to use it
when there was no need for it? These are the unknowns.
I think your site is a good example of having a Full Flex solution.
Little site content, lots of data centric needs (eCommerce).
Oh, the struggles of a web application developer.

Brendan, DARN good question!!!
1) I wanted to build an entire site in Flex. Why? Same reason the guy
climbed Everest - because it was there.
2) I had originally started the project in PHP and AJAX using a
freebie template I'd found. Between getting bogged down in a mire of
DIV tags and all kinds of issues setting up the checkout to go to
authorize.net I finally had to give up on it for a while. (As you
might guess manure doesn't pay the bills). Once I started with flex I
was off to the races.
3) UI options galore! Without all of the AJAX/DIV/HTML nightmare
associated with it. (Did I mention all of the IE vs. Firefox issues to
test and deal with?
4) C'mon man! Flex is freaking cool!

Curious why you chose Flex for this site...?
