I was being facetious!! I was not venting against anyone, for goodness sake
I'm still using Adobe Flex/Flash Builder 4.6 (not sure of the name myself)!!

I just find these discussions... "funny" and I was simply saying; if you
like Flex, use Flex!! if you like something else or you think Flex is dead
"use something else"!! don't follow what someone writes in their blog,
because we all have opinions and agendas and if these come at the end of a
paycheck that makes us a peon, not a derogatory term, but if the term
offended anyone I apologize, I should've said people who get paid to
practice, produce and voice what their employers and/or sponsors  want in
relation to their professional activities. 

But it's true, I'm glad Flex has left/leaving Adobe, as the owners of a
platform I use to make a living even before it was Adobe's,  it is "my
opinion" they were an unreliable partner and I'm glad it's under the Apache
umbrella.

But if anyone thinks companies like IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and yes Adobe
amongst others donated anything because of their kind hearts or because they
have a social conscience, I will strongly disagree with them, while
maintaining there's nothing wrong with making money!!

I reiterate I'm was stating an opinion not a fact.

+1

Don't blame the people, please (peons, really?). Also, maybe the Apache Flex
developers list is not the best place to vent your issues with Adobe. Don't
they have forums for that?
