2) Dude, where is my IDE ? Not Netbeans. Something like that shiny “Adobe Flash” thing.
Obviously the author has never tried to write ActionScript within the omg-rip-my-brain-out-before-i-kill-myself-awful "Adobe Flash" application.
The best thing Adobe ever did with Flash was base FlexBuilder on Eclipse. I hear they were going to write their own IDE, but they had just hired some Microsoft guy who told them they were nuts and convinced them to build it on top of Eclipse instead.
- wmf 17y agoThere's a big split between animators who couldn't imagine using Flex and programmers who can't stomach Flash Authoring. Flex and "traditional" Flash have little in common other than using the same runtime. Looking at JavaFX, it's not clear which audience Sun is targeting. It looks like it's oriented towards programmers, but the language also has things like built-in animation.
- swombat 17y agoFlex has plenty of animation stuff built-in... that doesn't stop it from being clearly "for programmers"... though to be fair, Flex's animation stuff is basically effects/transitions.
- rbanffy 17y agoThat's exactly where I stopped reading. Someone who _wants_ to use Flash for programming has to have something very wrong in his or her head.
