Has open Laszlo stayed up to date? I hadn't heard of it in many years.
I--personally--would rather see efforts put towards optimizing
existing Flex Components or the component framework; not on creating a
3rd component framework within Flex.

It would make sense to build a light-weight component set for Flex,
which could be used for rendering Flex apps in HTML5 later on. The
approach could be based on the UI/component implementation OpenLaszlo
has (which provides cross-compilation features for ActionScript and
JavaScript, check this demo):

And it's not only on mobile, on desktop (mostly Mac's) this is a problem
also. I'm talking about big enterprise applications and websites here
(like a CMS with graphical skin applied, nothing really in standard Flex
skin)

+1 on this. Performance definitely needs to be addressed on Flex. I've
noticed that on newer devices, it works fine. But on the slightly older
ones, performance is a huge issue. Hopefully we can get in there and
clean it up so it performs better.

I've worked on Flex applications for the past 4-5 years and see a lot
of developers picking it up since it is easy to create rich
applications. However performance is often an issue.
I mostly see it when using a lot of styles (or one large CSS file) and
skinned components (It is even worse with Flex 4 then it was with Flex
3). When a Flex application gets really large the UI is blocked because
there is too much actionscript code needed to get things running. (with
this I mean the processing time is acceptable but UI is blocked so the
perception is that things are slow)
Therefore I'd like to vote on improving the performance of the Flex
framework where possible so new and existing applications can benefit.
Flex 4 with spark is great but comes with some performance drawbacks, I
hope we can improve on this significantly.
I'm speaking on behalf of the experience and perception in the company
I work for, I'm curious to see if this is also a problem for the rest of
you.
I'm not the expert here but I'd like to get involved and learn so I can
eventually help to fix issues but I believe UIComponent had some
overhead and this together with the StyleManager can cause performance
drawbacks in large applications
