the same is about all java ecosystem and .net ecosystem. I can not see the difference. There is no serious alternative to Oracle Java and his alternative OpenJDK (I know there is IBM but who uses is apart from taking it as bonus to other software from IBM). So what's the noise about that. I am sure that there will be (in my opinion in about 2 years) production ready translation from flex to HTML (5?), maybe using the external libraries like extJS maybe some brand new components. The challenges will be in debugging such thing but that's another story. Personally I thing that one company controlling the player is good thing. This is multimilion investment and no free (no income) teams can build / maintain alternative to such big apis / technologies.
