I'm sure some of you may be kind of intrigued with this (really provocative) title, considering the fact that I'm a huge Flex fan. I don't have much experience with this framework, but I really enjoyed using it for the past months. Also, I just love DestroyTwitter, a (really awesome) Twitter client built with AIR by Jonnie Hallman.
One day, I asked him (by email, never met him) if DT was built with Flex or if it's was pure AS3, this is what he said to me :
[...] It was developed in pure AS3. Flex is bloat :)

I'm not going to say this kept me up at night, but I've been thinking about it lately and going back to Crumblr, I started to get pissed at Flex (mostly because of MXML) and I wondered if a pure AS3 application wouldn't be the solution.
With that in mind, I decided to restart Crumblr (which wasn't that advanced, to be honnest) and I won't use Flex for this project.
Wait & See!
