Your are right, and the word 'better' is misleading. But i still think both of the links are interesting, especially because of the obvious bias. And after reading both nobody would disagree with you and maybe even learn a bit why this issue exists.

A big chunk of flexSDK was opened. You could download it and start compiling swfs right now. There are also open source editors for ActionScript 2, 3 and Mxml.
