So I'll keep it focused on Flex VS SilverLight. If you look at ActionScript 3, it's more like Java than Javascript, which is smart for Adobe. Believe me Javascript is about to be gone in the new web app world b/c it sux in so many ways compared w/ Java or C#. By making it "ActionJava", Adobe invites the entire world of Java developers on board who for sure wouldn't wanna use SilverLight. That being said, I don't think Adobe is good at building virtual machine or designing languages and compilers, which was reflected in how big a joke AS2 was and Flex not gaining much eyeball despite being out there for a while. W/ M$ chasing them, they start to open up and turn to Java world for help. Smart for them. Might as well just drop the ego and merge Flex w/ JavaFX. Why get overlapped here while both are under the threat of a common enemy you know who. As for our .Net web developers. I don't see anyone in their right mind will switch to Flex. We have a strong Sql Server as the data tier and a powerful WCF as the middle tier. Both fit right in w/ SilverLight to form an end to end solution, so no point to use Flex for the presentation tier. Especially to think of coding in what, AS3? No thank you, we love our generics, threading, LINQ, etc so we prefer C# (in Visual Studio no less).. The end result will pretty much be like this: Flex is adopted by WHATEVER-nix/Java platform and SilverLight rules the Windows world. Like the current J2EE VS .Net situation. Given Adobe's track record in the Linux world, hoho, better behave this time.[/quote]
