IntelliJ IDEA [1] by JetBrains has strong Flex support and Flex Design
View plugin [2] (also developed by JetBrains). The plugin doesn't
support 'design' mode, i.e. you are not able to generate mxml code by
drag'n'drop, but it's good for quick preview of the manually written mxml.
What I can say for sure is that JetBrains is committed to continue high
quality support for upcoming Flex/AIR/ActionScript features, because the
number of ActionScript and Flex developers using IntelliJ IDEA is
growing [3] (probably as a result of announcements regarding Flash Builder).

Hello,
from Flash Builder 4.7 design mode is removed and in Flash Builder 4.6 the
design view supports Flex 4.6 but it won’t support any newer version of Flex (I
don’t know if there is a workaround for this).
So my first question is: are available (or planned to be developed) any IDE for
apache flex that support a “design view”?
(something like Visual Studio for the one who doesn’t know what FB 4.6 design
view is)
Second question: what IDE are you using now for developing Flex (desktop, web
and mobile)? FB, FDT, FD, other?
(because I don’t like Adobe “In order to better support future Apache-derived
Flex SDKs, Design View, Data Centric Development tools, and Flash Catalyst
workflows will be removed in updated 4.x versions of Flash Builder.” and I
don’t 100% trust them about “maintain support for Flex projects in updates to
Flash Builder 4.x, including additional work to ensure Apache Flex based SDKs
can work within Flash Builder”)
Thanks,
Riccardo
