Clearly an article written by a person who's lived in the HTML/CSS/JS world for too long, and didn't find an easy way to port their knowledge directly to Flex. Another instance of somebody trying to write a traditional website and treating Flex purely as the view layer. It's an application framework, not another layer of duct tape on top of technology from the early 90s...

How could Flex be an application framework? It doesn't have what an application frameworks should have.

@thejavafreak: such as....??

* Email sending
* Report
* DB Connection. Including transactional support
* Security. Authorization and authentication

It all relies on what's on the server. Flex only send data to the server (or the backend) to process it. How could you say it's an application framework. Clearly it's a view presentation only. Look at Seam or Spring and you'll get what I mean.

It means it is not mature enough yet. Thats why I would like people to appreciate Swing because is already very mature and it could work for RIA with JRE6_10.

Flex is not an application Framework and it should be wired to the Framework of your choice (asp.net, java or php). I think Flex is doing very well for client UI
