Not good at this "reading between the lines" or even "facing the blatantly obvious" thing, then, eh? What part of: "Does Adobe recommend we use Flex or HTML5 for our enterprise application development? In the long-term, we believe ##HTML5 will be the best technology## for enterprise application development. We also know that, ##currently##, Flex has clear benefits for large-scale client projects typically associated with desktop application profiles." Is hard to grasp?

It's a mature open-source framework - the Flash Player is getting some significant upgrades (Unity + Unreal engine with Stage3D), allowing many things not possible now, tomorrow or next year with HTML5/Js. I know I'll be using it on our projects this time next year, as will numerous other codeshops like ours. This is all before you look at what becomes possible with executables created with 3rd party tools like SWFStudio & Zinc (where we roll our own native code into the release). Sorry, but even this time next year, there's going to be nothing around that approaches what we are doing with these tools now, in the timeframes and budgets we are doing them in (this part is key for our customers) - believe me, we've evaluated all of them long & hard. Just because it might be the end of Flex for you and your projects, it's not going away overnight for many other developers.
