Re: [Flashcoders] Microsoft Expression ...

2006-12-18 Thread Kevin Newman
I tried it very briefly, and will possibly give it another go just for 
the heck of it, and to waste time.


My initial feeling is that if you like Microsoft's other IDE - Visual 
Studio, you will like Expression, since even Blend is just a thin skin 
over top of the standard Visual Studio interface. Unless I have 
something configured incorrectly, you also have to install Visual Studio 
Express to edit the scripts.


I think those apps will appeal mostly to Microsoft developer types, but 
probably not to too many others.


Just my 2 cents.

I know a VS freak who tried it out and really didn't like it much at all,
but I don't know what that means. Competition is a good thing I guess. I
won't be playing with XAML any time soon that I can forsee.
