It might be interesting to hear why people chose Flex in the first place.
There was competition back then as well (Silverlight, Lazlo, and more).
1) It targeted the Flash Player, which was on just about every browser.
Silverlight couldn't offer that; and I heard of projects going w/ Flex
because SL didn't have the penetration.
2) It came from a big company, something that Lazlo couldn't offer.
I believe that developer productivity was a major factor.
In my version of the world, the people that often make decisions have
no way to evaluate the truth behind the technology decisions. That may
have been part of the sales pitch, but I honestly don't know if it was
reality.
