Dale, Since Sparkle (codenamed) was given a name, I have been following that product with much interest. And if I make a comparison of the IDE to Flex, Adobe has more ctaching up to do than Microsoft does.
I blogged about Flex last year, and I am surpirsed that the IDE is still fairly useless as an IDE goes. And considering that comparision was a beta of Blend (Sparkle), it had more features and use in the IDE than Flex 3 will ever have. In my opinion Flex IDE is more behind that you think it is.
