If you can't see the benefit of being able to type 
foo.bar
and have it save you the time of writing
foo.barrelsRoundIsABitOfALongPropertyNameIsntIt
and the import for the type, then yeah, use whatever...

You can always turn of the insight etc. features in Builder, and just use the 
syntax highlight, but it seems a waste.

XSD4MXML gives you just the syntax highlight for free.

I wouldn't want to be bogged down in details like import statements and 
weather to use UK or US spellings of property names.

With Eclipse you have complete control to close any windows you want open,
eh?  Funny you mentioned DW.  Flex Builder 1/1.5 was built on DW and it
totally sucked.  As I recall, most folks at the time switched to Eclipse
then already.

Ya i agree. I also Hate the Eclipse IDE, it's like they are having a race to 
see how many Windows they could have. The Flex IDE would have been perfect if 
it had the look and feel of the Flash IDE or Dreamweaver CS4(The BEta one). I 
tried FlashDevelop and I don't think they support Debugging so that was out.

  So all the huff n puff goin' on, I've been playing with FDT and also 
  googled about it - and found Jesse's blog post

  http://flashartofwar.com/2008/04/24/flexbuilder-3-vs-fdt-3/

  So far all I can gather is that FDT is just a different IDE for Flex. 
  Does it just have more bells and whistles? Jesse mentioned in his 
  post about templates and code hinting...

  That's the LAST thing I want.

  Hell, I try to code as much as possible in Textmate ( ill post about 
  this ). I want to write my own code - not big brother writing it for 
  me. Plus, for me, that's the best way to learn an API - by having to 
  know the components and their respective utilization.

  I mean right...?
