Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Flex

Adobe flex used to be the defacto choice of many applications but now with the whole push to HTML5 and JavaScript it is being replaced. We ourselves are in the process of migration.
  • Highly advanced UI platform, well suited for building enterprise applications.
  • Cross browser issues do not exist as it runs the same on every browser via Flash Player.
  • Animations are something that comes out of the box.
  • It's heavy as it needs to load the Flash plugin first before rendering anything to the user.
  • Not future ready as there is no support for mobile and tablet platforms.
  • Our users have a great positive feedback from the UI point of view.
  • The ease of use of the application had doubled our existing user base.
We are replacing adobe flex with Sencha.
If your site is purely animations (like some company timeline from the start of the company to the current date), it's well suited for this use case.
