I'm psyched about what I am hearing about the next iteration. They have stated that they aren't going to be making big architectural rewrites now, but focus on stability and smaller iterative versions which makes sense. Also, note; they are just begining to talk about it now, they are not

I personally don't see a problem with it... it's not like they're releasing a new Flash Player and AVM ... just a updated/new framework that still works with Flash 9 AVM2 and other things ofcourse like SDK etc etc. People will still be able to use Flex 2 On 1/25/07, Adam Reynolds [EMAIL

Yeah, I would much prefer it if they slowed down their innovation substantially. Because I am absolutely sure that is the way microsoft looks at it. In fact I think Bruce Chizen should call Steve Balmer and say something like this. you know, as a favor to our users lets agree that we will give

I think 2.0.1 is an indication of what possibly went wrong. They introduced modules. 500 bugs, fix 250, and then introduce new features. WTF? and now flex 3. What I'm assuming here is developer idea overload. Flex 2 is fantastic and suddenly they realise how powerful it is, but they want to

I am literally picking up my F2 box today. Knowing F3 Beta is about to start is a bit f'd up. Any rumors/guesses as to when roughly we might see Flex 3? I'm getting ready to buy Flexbuilder 2 in the next month, but wonder if I should wait until the second quarter. Seems there are rumors Flash
