You can't do otherwise: CSS are anyway used in the core Mobile Flex components, and many of them use descendant CSS. (few examples from mobile theme defaults.css): ActionBar ButtonBase ActionBar Group#navigationGroup Button ActionBar Group#navigationGroup Button.emphasized ActionBar.beveled Group#actionGroup Button.emphasized Callout ViewNavigator ActionBar.beveled Group#navigationGroup Button Etc... Moreover, mobile Flex uses the new @media CSS which allows to use different CSS settings for different DPI / OS. Now, if you mean "not using CSS at all in your own code": There are 100+ CSS entries in the mobile theme, plus the ones in the other SWC projects if you are using them (Charts, etc...) . So unless you are using dozens of CSS in your own code, I am not sure it will really make a difference, and you will certainly lose in maintenability/flexibility if you hardcode everything. You can use Adobe Scout to measure the performance gain of using/ not using CSS on your project.

Back in 2010, apparently the CSS performance in Flex wasn't that great, especially for complex stuff like descendent selectors: http://jan.varwig.org/archive/flex-4-performance-tips How is Apache Flex performance with CSS doing at the moment? Do the caveats listed here (problems with infinite loops, descendent selectors) still apply? If I'm working on a mobile (iPad) project, would using CSS be recommended?
