AJAX World - Adobe Flex 4 Is Shaping Up
Adobe has published their first plan of what should be included in Flex 4 that is scheduled to release next year. Since Flex is an open source product, you have a say in this too. Obviously, there's a hope that upcoming Thermo release will bring together developers and designers. I'm cautiously optimistic here. It's great that a designer's tool will automatically generate MXML. A developer will pick it up and re-factor. But will the tool be smart enough to reverse-engineer the re-factored code and present it back in a visual form to the designer for further work? That is a million dollars question.

Yes we should have say in open source platform but way I see it Google and Adobe will do according to own propriety when it comes to add features. I like GWT but again very plain UI with built in library (third party limited not many)

Adobe has to be one step ahead with Flex 4 since sliverlight and GWT are not very behind and also reminder that Flex is plug-in base so make it fast and small so others don't have change to argue on that.

I was surprised to see you question the availability of communication with the Flex 4 development team. More than any other company I've dealt with Adobe has always had an open approach to contact with it's uses.

Flex feature suggestions have been carried forward from the version 3 bug base where there's always been a lot of two way communication. I've posted several suggestions and always received responses. sometimes on the bug reporting \ feature suggestion site & several times direct from development team.

The same holds true with the other products in their suite & server packages.

I'm in total agreement with all your requested avenues of improvement though.

Another thing they should put more efforts into is the compilation time. With big scaled projects it is unbearable and Flex3.0 did not provide any significant improvements as promised.
