Actually, I more or less agree with Mike on that. I sort of expected Randori to be successful in big development shops like where Mike works and for FlexJS to be successful for individuals that don’t have the ability to hire on these HTML/CSS designers. Different workflows for different situations. If both were successful, some transitional tool that would help dump the MXML-generated screens into HTML might have come to fruition. FlexJS will at least produce CSS these experts can manipulate. It isn’t clear to me how important direct HTML manipulation is to the success of FlexJS. I do have ideas of a MXML manipulator so you get a similar “live-editing” experience instead of having to edit/compile/run/look or creating a whole design view. Maybe you can’t tune it as well as if you could have the designer manipulate the HTML, but somehow my gut says we can be very popular anyway because some folks might give up on pixel perfection for the developer productivity gains. And any popular patterns to the tuning of said HTML should be encapsulated into a bead or custom component. There is no one Button that everyone must use. -Alex
