I have a full license for Flash Builder 4.7 and even though I worked with it a lot and didnt have any major problems I took the time to have a deeper look into IntelliJ. The IDE was a little confusing to me first but after the 30 days trial I was convinced enough to buy it. You might miss some wiza

I've been a long-time FB user and currently switched to IDEA. Here are my opinions after about two months with the IDE: * The nicest thing about IDEA is how well it understands the actual code. FB was not too bad in this regards but IDEA can take you from an interface to all the implementations in

Thank you for your input thus far, everyone. For a little more background, my company still develops with LCDS, with a plan to switch to GraniteDS. I tried the FB 4.7 trial with Flex 4.12 and everything with our projects 'just works' (compiles at least; regression aside). My gut is saying to just

My company has 5 Flex developers, all developing blazeds style applications with IntelliJ and Apache Flex. We found that the benefits IntelliJ provides in terms of efficiency and ease of use far outweighed the few features FB has that IntelliJ doesn't. Given the quality gap between the two produ
