Flex: More Like HTML or More Like Java?

Flex: More Like HTML or More Like Java? | JavaWorld's Daily Brew: "Joshua Partogi recently posted Why You Might Not Want to Use Flex on his blog. I found this blog entry particularly interesting because Joshua does not focus on the usual criticisms of Flex (which often are actually of the Flash Player) and because Joshua's experience is almost exactly opposite of mine. While I have generally found Flex to be significantly easier to use than any other web development frameworks that I have used, Joshua seems to have found both Tapestry and JavaServer Faces easier to use than Flex. As Joshua alludes to in both his blog entry and the linked-to presentation Switching Paradigms: From Regular Web to Flex, it is really a matter of experience and perspective."
