I thought the same (when I first glanced at their spec)...but after
implementing a few small apps...I've grown to like it...In August I'll
be looking at using it in our corporate environment, see how it fares.

Although when I first dove into flash/actionscript, I admit it took me
some time to get my head around this type of framework (coming from the
cf world)...

That makes a lot of sense, in an event-driven environment like most GUIs
provide. Web applications tend to be a lot more linearly structured,
though,
and I suspect that mapping an event model onto it may make things more
complex rather than simpler. Interestingly, that's essentially the
approach
to ASP.NET programming with Visual Studio.NET - you build web
applications
as if they were GUI applications, and Visual Studio writes lots of code
for
you to provide that illusion.
