If this appears again it;s not intended double post. Hi all, hi Jochem It was very nice of you detailing in your answer some points of my original post. Only, please allow me some rectifications... You write: 1. It might be a good idea to take on less projects, but for a higher margin. Not

Hi all. hi Tom, hi Nick, hi Wally I have to thank you for your understanding! The common denominator of all answers on why the new version of Flex Builder 3 should be renamed to Flash Builder 4 is WTF No big deal. Or better, as Tom put it: Just marketing bollocks!! LOL Then I can call myself

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.

Yes, I can see your point. I think the two of us are the only people who think that the Flex brand is weakened by the Flash moniker. No, there are more of us... We just aren't as vocal! Gk.

It's too late, the damage is done, but I agree also FWIW. An Adobe VP told me about Flex being the open source branding, and Flash being the commercial product branding. There is no way that customers will figure that out. They have enough trouble understanding that developers are
