I have used FB since 3 I am on 4.6 and still used visual layout 1 or 2 times a day I could live with out it
I have run IntelliJ IDEA on trial 2 times now and it is a quality product but there is a learning curve in my cases about 4 weeks I think I will go cold turkey with my new project and move to IntelliJ IDEA unless is see a 4.8 from Adobe, otherwise it looks like FB is a legacy product ie dead no new £ to be spent on it, adobe just milk the base which they are entitled to do Did you find 4.6 with sdk 4.12 an easy install and setup ?
