However off late there have been some times when I have almost been willing to trade some of the features for some richer UI capabilities (non chuggy animation, lists that actually scroll, etc) and a lighter swf. A lot of the projects my team works on are smaller widgets and Flex is just not an alternative. But I am working on some code that may be close enough to Flex to actually be a viable option. We are planning to open source the code so the question is what would make it attractive to Flex devs. @polyGeek:

How could we live without any of those. Take just one of them away and we just have 'Fex'. In thinking back on the dark ages of Flash and Actionscript 2 I believe that DataBinding has saved me countless lines of code. It's like saying, "You be like so-and-so and if so-and-so changes then you do to. What a repetitive pain in the arse that was without DataBinding. And the source of lots of bugs in my code.
