- WiseWeasel 16y agoI have not, but my concern would be becoming dependent on a third party Flash development tool for my workflow, and then being left behind as Adobe adds new features to the runtime unsupported by the IDE I'm using, or worse, that they find a way to break content created with the competing IDE. I don't think such a possibility would be all that unexpected, given Adobe's competitive nature and refusal to cede control of the runtime.
- benologist 16y agoThe Flex SDK which the 3rd party IDEs and Adobe's own Flash Builder* IDE use is actually open source too. * formerly Flex Builder, renamed to avoid confusion with the SDK
- whatever_dude 16y agoDisagree. FDT is in fact a much better solution than Flash CS and Flex Builder.
