Hi Jeff, for IDEs, if a part from flex you have backend code (maybe Java?) my recommendation is to switch to IntelliJ IDEA since the Java/Flex support is very professional. We switched many years ago from Flash Builder since it supports as well maven with flex. I think it was a great decision since we have a huge code base like you.
For Royale, you can go as well IntelliJ (but there's no official support, just what Flex support gives you a long some hacks people do). For Royale, better to go with Moonlight or VSCode + Extension (NextGenAS).
