Yes, that's all it is. However, it's one hell of a plugin. The problem that a lot of people seem to have when looking at software pricing is that they expect it to match the complexity or size of the application in question. This is silly. The value of a piece of software - like anything else - isn't derived from how big it is, or how complicated it is, but whether it saves you money that you'd otherwise spend doing things some other way. If you're interested in building Flex 2 applications - and I strongly encourage everyone to take a good look at Flex 2 - you can build them with your favorite text editor, or you can use FlexBuilder. Having worked with FlexBuilder myself, I'd buy it in a minute - it makes building Flex 2 applications so much simpler, that you'll recoup your labor costs in a week.
