I think 2.0.1 is an indication of what possibly went wrong. They introduced modules. 500 bugs, fix 250, and then introduce new features. WTF?
and now flex 3. What I'm assuming here is developer idea overload. Flex 2 is fantastic and suddenly they realise how powerful it is, but they want to add new features, even though the old ones are buggy. Could even be a yeah we know that component is not quite right, but we re-wrote it completely, added in new functions now that we 'understand' what we can do with Flex. Is it worth fixing the issues with F2? No release the new component with F3. I have a feeling this is what is happening, and although I don't mind it, it's not 'cricket'. I am literally picking up my F2 box today. Knowing F3 Beta is about to start is a bit f'd up. If Adobe are going to start releasing a new version every 6-9 months, could they at least agree that they will patch 95% of the outstanding bugs in each version before releasing the new one. If they are not prepared to do this, can they at least provide some concessions to people that will need to upgrade F2 to F3. I'm pleased that Adobe feel that Flex needs a new major version and not a dot release. It implies they've been working hard on some new and exciting features. What I need more than anything else however is a solid stable Flex environment. I can extend Flex to my hearts content with various components as I need them. Just give me a 100% fantastic stable environment please. That is more critical than a new and exciting 'features'.
