People first instinct, at least mine was, was to look for an equivalent. Subclassing <s:Rect/> with convenience setters would go a long way toward reducing frustrations people have had with migrating. Not everyone is immediately aware of all the skinning possibilities and new paradigms such as the layout object so anything we can do to smooth out the migration is a plus. Plus it illustrates proper use of some of the Spark concepts. Don't see how its a bad thing. If people really want to keep writing out a few lines for a Rect as opposed to just writing <s:Spacer width="100" /> then that's their choice but I think we should have the class available so I'm going to code one up today.
