[flexcoders] Re: Thermo Cairngorm
A question... Why another designer? Why not add the Thermo features into FlexBuilder or Flash? To think that only designers will use this tool is short-sighted. Developers will definitely also like to see these features as once the development begins, the lines between the designers and developers becomes blurred. And, on many projects, the designers and developers are the same people and now we will need to swap between IDE's. I don't know about Thermo, but Eclipse is not very friendly with resources and it is simply more convenient to have it in a single IDE.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Thermo Cairngorm
I think it's too early to infer that thermo is just for designers or whether it'll be a separate product or the a replacement for flex design view. Currently, I find it quite scary how good Adobe is at extracting money from me..
