Everybody is talking about "learning"  another language.  That's the
easy part.  It's porting an entire application that has several 100,000
lines of code.  That's that hard part.  Someone mentioned losing flash
support on all Macs.  Is that true?  I hope not.  I have over a million
users using my flash app and about 25% of them have macs.  That would be
bad.

I think the new name makes perfect sense.  The current FlexBuilder
doesn't only "build" "flex".  It builds "flash" as well.  When you think
of it, it is truly a "Flash" "Builder".  In fact, before they decided to
change them name, I wondered why they were associating the name with
"Flex" in the first place.  When I started, it was not obvious I could
use it to build a simple flash animations without the flex framework,
which I actually needed to do for a few projects.  I think of it as a
"programmers" tool for making flash "apps" as opposed to an artist's
tool for making pretty animations.
