I have been doing enterprise integration for years now and I have gotten to a 
pretty solid level of expertise with the available open standards. All I can 
tell you is that the Flash runtimes have been able to do pretty much all of the 
latest html5 js capabilities for years and works the same across browsers. Even 
the differences between mobile OSs with AIR is relatively minimal. I'm still 
surprised that here we are years later and basically the web standards are 
still just not quite as robust as the flex framework and flash platform. Action 
script as a language has been a better version of ecma than javascript for 8 
years This even after all of the garbage dump that has been the so called 
"debate" or whatever you want to call that Apple blocking and Adobe's oddness.

In the end I'm not sure there's anything quite like flex or flash still and 
there probably won't be because everything else is either forced to render out 
to the lowest common denominator of the browser or it relies on it's own 
runtime that's not available in the browser.

You probably deserve a raise for even knowing what flex even is or knowing what 
has actually been going on besides the Steve Jobs narrative. :)

And if I were your manager, I would be giving you a raise ;-)
