That's a lot of good information to start with! Thanks a lot. Personally, after reading Alex thoughts about the Flex rewrite and watching Michael Labriola Randori slides I see a future for current work done. I am very enthusiastic about this new vision and I'll try to give arguments in its favour

I was just reacting to an email by Gordon explaining that MXML 'coverage' in Falcon is at 80%, but that the last 20% will take many man-months to finish, something Gordon on his own is obviously not capable of contributing. And then there's FalconJS, which from the few thi
