What I don't understand is why is Laszlo and Flex better than using Flash? Flash lets you lay things out graphically. Flex and Laszlo are text descriptions that are compiled into flash. To me, it is easier to layout a screen than to try to describe it in text.

OpenLaszlo is a powerful framework for developing applications using the SWF format. My impression was that it is a robust framework that allows the developer to focus on their web app logic and let the Laszlo framework handle the presentation.

Take a look at their ten minute demo (which is quite good) for more info:

It seemed to me that the philosophy of the Laszlo people at their presentation was this: web app developers spend most of their time writing code and not much time in the Flash GUI and most of them have a preferred text editor. Their framework takes care of a lot of the transition animation and other niceties that the developer might want so it is pretty straightforward to just code these things in.
