No, I don't. I will use the Closure Library on the JS side. I am not even going to implement a framework on the AS side. I use the Flex SDK. The VanillaSDK JS framework is just a very thin wrapper around these frameworks. It have the same API on the JS side as on the AS side: the only thing I need to compile to JS is the project AS and MXML. All development takes place on the AS/MXML side (e.g. in Flash Builder), no need for current Flex developers to learn anything new. JS is a release format, for when your project is ready to be deployed. The idea is: low learning curve, easy acceptance, high impact, good marketability.
