Pluses: Very quick and easy to get great looking results, displaying data that you pipe from sql via php->XML for instance...great wow factor for clients who want to see their business back and front ends bought up to date, particularly if they have read the phrase 'web2.0' somewhere, and they want to tell their friends that they're site is 'web2.0' :).. Downside: Coming from an almost purely Flash/AS background, I was disappointed that I couldnt include all my favorite little Actionscripted widgets in the application, and that using Flash in the app was basically limited to animation - there are somethings that are far easier to implement in Actionscript and I understand that this goal is being worked towards, but in the meantime it's added a lot of development time to my projects. Overall: Brilliant :), the best open-source thing yet. Bravo :D:D
