These aren't exactly assumptions. I didn't poll personally, but FlashDevelop developers had organized a poll, which was active for more then two years now on inclusion of Flex SDK with the FlashDevelop. You can see the results here: http://flashdevelop.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4560 As you can see, about the half of the voters would rather not include the SDK with their favorite editor. If you read the responses, you will see that the major problem was the size of the download. I can actually post polls to few popular user boards / user groups - should I, if that is really of an interest, I'll do! But being an active user of many such boards, I can quite predict the results. There will be a lot of users who don't need that stuff from SDK. A lot means at leas hundreds of votes (as per forum traffic, that would be a very significant number). On the same note, if we are going to run few polls - do you have any wishes about the wording of the question? Best. Oleg
