I'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.

    Flexbuilder (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.

      I 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.

        That's not the right choice for a non-visual programmer maybe. But its popularity is partially due to it being designer friendly.
