Re: [flexcoders] Re: The lifespan of flex.
Thanks for your responses everyone. I was able to put this issue to sleep so to speak. I did quote the standardisation of flash as a strong point plus a few other points.

[flexcoders] Re: The lifespan of flex.
The question you have to ask is how long will HTML5 be supported before HTML6-8 takes over the browser, also it looks like not all implementations of HTML are the same, so more browser supported third party javascript addons to handle the multitude of html5 workarounds... Flex is a fun language to code in and when it life is over it will create a vacuum for the next best application development environment, but by that time hopefully there will be direct connects to the brain for application development and some of the best development done while we sleep.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: The lifespan of flex.
For its completeness and integration of solutions, no one can hold a candle to Adobe: Photoshop, illustrator, flash cs5, flash builder, actionscript, air, coldfusion. Is there any other company that provides class-leading products in each and every component (both design and run-time) of an Internet application?? And no, I'm not an Adobe employee, to be clear :).
