I wouldn't describe the flash IDE as fantastic. The only reason it's passable is because it's really the only game in town. It's slow, its UI could use a lot of cleanup, and its code editor is particularly slow and lacking features (as compared to XCode or Visual Studio). I think people use Flash because it's the best (major) browser-targeted tool that handles animation design decently.

the IDE isn't fantastic, but Flex is actually one of the nicer UI frameworks. This could get really interesting for developing "thick" clients.

  Flex definitely won't output to FXG. FXG is simply a declarative graphics specification. Don't expect ActionScript to port over to JavaScript reliably using this tool.
