Oh ... let me thow in a little more weight for the Catalyst ;-) I invested quite some time in setting up a project structure that allowed me to concentrate on developing (Using an ugly but functional developer Skin) and having professional Designers use Catalyst to Skin the application. Unfortunately it seemed that the designers available on the market were all even less "finished" than the Catalyst project, but as soon as the designers got the hang of it, the results were pretty sattisfying and I had what I was allways dreaming about: Being able to concentrate on the functionality and have a designer do all the stuff that sells the application (cool buttons, even greater effects and animated transitions, ...) :-)
I would be really happy if Adobe didn't entirely drop this tool, and if they did, If they would somehow open-source it.

Apache is not an enterprise in respect to each project. Having the same perspective about a project like FlashCatalyst and expecting that from Apache Flex is going to keep you up at night. This project would be iterative. From the looks of it I can count more than 3 people that seem to be interested in this project and we have only talked about it for a day. IMO I think you should just give the FC thing a rest and save your energy for things that actually could manifest.
