My biggest concern with FLEX would be two-fold:

1)  Cost of setting up the environment, including the
     cost of FLEX server and FLEX Builder (which, incidentally,
     isn't spelled out at all on the Adobe site...it just says
     contact us.  Why can't they just post the price?!?!...)
     From what I was able to "google"...about $12,000+ ?!?!

2)  Search Engine Marketing using Flash...most of my clients
     have realized a great site does nothing for them if it can't
     rank highly in the search engines.  Unless things have changed,
     Flash can't be read by search engine spiders, and therefore,
     causes sites to rank poorly or not at all.

     Until spidering by search engines is solved, all-flash user
     interfaces are totally unacceptable for sites, not matter how
     "Rich" the interactivity...

Thoughts on this, anyone?

Rick

OpenLaszlo has an IDE for visual editing.  It looks interesting, haven't
played with it much.  Flex has a well integrated visual editor as well.

They're both sorta left of the HTML experience though...

I'm guessing VWD stands for Visual Web Design, and thus this
comment.
