Flex Builder & Dogfood
While using Flex Builder today, and pondering whether we should build a complex application using it, I had a thought. Why is Flex Builder built on Eclipse RCP, rather than with their own platform? The easy answer is that was what was quickest for them to get good IDE functionality.
Could Flex 4 potentially be an AIR application? Should it? Is it time for Adobe to eat their own dogfood? Continued use of Eclipse RCP basically implies to me that Flex is not intended for complex/intensive applications.
