Re:Flex = a big huh? (Score 2, Informative)

Laszlo was around before Flex existed, and it works on Flash Player 5 (whereas Flex requires version 7.) In fact, that's one of the biggest differences between the two, if you want to leverage the features (and improvements) specific to Flash Player 7 and above, you can't do it in Laszlo (yet.) They also use different XML dialects for construction, and many people find Flex's to be easier to use and more powerful. I don't have much hands on experience with either, sad to say, but I did weigh Laszlo against Flex 1.5 awhile back, and tested out Laszlo locally and it didn't really cut it for what I was looking for. Having just started using ColdFusion's new Flash forms (which use a mini Flex server embedded in the CF server) I am itching to get my hands on Flex 2. Of course, that would require having the time to play with it. :)
