You guys are starting with the wrong problem. Development tools, language, frameworks doesn't really matter. It is whether it works at the end-user. How fast it loads, whether there are obscure security dialogs, whether graphics flashes and flickers ... Solve that and you will have users and d

My thoughts on the question "So, why should we switch from Flex to JavaFX?" is 'Don't do it, not yet - and maybe in some circumstances, not ever' I'm very much in favor of JavaFX - I've been working with it constantly since the 1.0 release, I think it has alot of potential, and it's allowed me
