Yes, it is called a text editor. html, css, js, canvas, svg, xml, etc. all can be authored easily with a basic text editor.

- redcap 17y agoI'm sure that html,etc can be _written_ with a basic text editor, but I'm not convinced that's the easiest way to get things done.

- kqr2 17y agoFlexbuilder (now Flashbuilder) is nice because you can easily switch between the source code and design/layout view. It also takes care of all the build dependencies. For pure programmers this isn't a big deal but for someone who is more design oriented, it's a lot easier.
- tjmc 17y agoI think Flex trades off user experience to make developers' lives easier though. That's never the right choice IMHO. Every Flex app I've seen, no matter how simple, starts with a "Loading" popup. Flex apps also notoriously overreach by reimplementing everything in Flash rather than use HTML where appropriate. It's great to have good tools, but they should never produce an inferior product.
- poppysan 17y agoThat's not the right choice for a non-visual programmer maybe. But its popularity is partially due to it being designer friendly.
- mikeliu 17y agoI think what he meant was a text editor is useless for frame-based animation. Flash programmers are "visual programmers." I don't think there's any good way (at least not now) to program animations without a visual ide -- and I don't mean simple transitions in a javascript webapp.
