Love Letter to Flex 4 and Flash Builder

Dear Flex 4 / Flash Builder,

I just wanted to tell you that I think you're amazing.  I know we just recently met, but I can't stop thinking about you.  You're not like the others (Flex 2 and Flex 3).  There's something different about you.  Your component model is brilliant.  Your implementation of declarative drawing is beautiful.  Your data service wizards are exquisite.  Your inline documentation is ingenious.  I could go on and on, but it suffices me to say I LOVE YOU.  I can't imagine my (work) life without you.  I would be lost without you.  Please be mine forever.

Sincerely,

Bryan

  • I found this post when I searched "I love flex4" on Google. Add me (and our entire team) to the list of people who LOVE Flex 4.
  • The more I use it the more I love it and the more I despise Flex 3.
  • Well, depends on what you compare it to - obviously 4 will be better than 3, because it adds to it, while not taking anything away... most of us walked into Flex bloodied and distraught with writing an unhealthy amount of JavaScript code and making it work in a dozen different versions of different browsers, and this was when there was no JQuery.. Flex 4, as awesome as it is, Flex 3 has its place in our hearts and minds!
  • Nice one Bryan..

    I too loved it.. :)

    Keep going..

    You love life is in beta though... hope you make it to final soon.
  • It's getting better every day. I think we'll hit gold master status soon.

    HAHA... I think Flex 4/Flashbuilder has quite a few suitors so you may have to get in line
  • But I was the first one to write a love letter. That's got to count for something, right?
  • John Knack
    And what your imaginary girlfriend think of this post?
  • My wife doesn't know and I hope she doesn't find out ;)
