i like flex and where it can be used but i'd like to
see the features in flex syncronized in/with flash authoring. that would
be killer.

I don't see any reason why that wouldn't be good for everybody.

Personally I have always found Flash authoring a very frustrating tool to
work with, but I'm a very code centric type of person. The only time I want
to see what my app looks like is when I test it. I find any time I use a
graphical tool to build apps I end up sitting there for far too long trying
to debug something that was created visually, which I don't completely
understand, and which I probably can't control down to the finest detail.

Flex 1.5 and Flex Builder 2 give me the option of using that as my workflow.

I'm not saying Flash authoring isn't a good tool. It obviously is for a very
large number of people, but without Flex and other options for building apps
in a code centric way I doubt if I would be working with flash at all.

It's all about choice :-)
