The perception that Flex is in trouble is mostly a flub from the Adobe Marketing and PR people.
I think the real issue is that Adobe just couldn't figure out how to make any serious money off it. There was once a company called Sun that had a similar problem - with Java. I think open sourcing Flex was the best thing that could possibly happen to it. If a community builds around it and a few good releases make their way out under the Apache umbrella, I think it could have a renaissance. The next time someone tells you HTML 5 is going to kill Flash, get out your iphone, press record and ask them to tell you what HTML 5 is. This is even more fun with someone from the technology press.
