Phil -- are you not sure about the excitement about Flex per se? Or the open sourcing of it? Or both?
Comment from Phil Windey at April 26, 2007 10:42 AM
Yeah, important distinction. I guess I've never been very excited about Flex, so it's hard to get worked up about it getting open sourced.
Comment from Jesse Stay at April 26, 2007 4:50 PM
Agreed - an avid AJAX fan I don't get Flex. While it may be open source now, it doesn't promote the open nature of open source enough for me like AJAX does.
Comment from Michael Neale at April 26, 2007 6:00 PM
I am an ajax fan, but I do understand the interest around richer web delivered clients (eg WPF/Silverlight, Flash/Apollo).
Given that, it is a step in an interesting direction to establish a free and open rich client platform. But its all moot without flash being open sourced.
