If it does come out as a separate product I think it's sort of a mistake (though maybe the only option) because it just means that many more apps to learn. you heard it here first: I predict Flash Catalyst will be integrated into Flex Builder–basically the design view you need.

If you turn off automatic builds and setup a keyboard shortcut for build project then its not so painful, well, apart from when you want to launch an app and FB triggers a build anyway and sometimes hangs for about 30 seconds wondering wtf its doing. Im really hoping FB4 (or whatever it'll be called) and the associated SDK will have dealt with those issues. like Lee said, its giving Eclipse a bad rep.

Adobe should just develop and market 'Flex' or whatever they want to call it as an Eclipse plug-in and SDK and concentrate on making it as impressive as FDT. This would clear up the confusion amongst people about what the hell it is in relation to Flash. Calling Flex Builder a piece of Adobe software is an insult to the Eclipse foundation. Catalyst/Thermo should be integrated into Fireworks too.

I need to buy the software soon but you know what's going to happen ... {sigh} ... anyone from Adobe know if they plan on offering such a package in the near future?
