Rather than go into a lengthy discourse here on why I feel Flex/Flash Builder should be available to Linux desktop developers, I'll direct those interested to <a href="http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-19053">this Adobe issue/bug report</a>, which contains plenty of great comments and lots of votes in support. If you agree, please be sure to <strong><a href="http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-19053">vote for this issue</a></strong>. I would also like to draw attention to a <a href="http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/05/eclipse-survey-results-show-growth-in-linux-open-source.ars">recent survey by the Eclipse Foundation</a>. So... The number of developers using Eclipse on Linux workstations has grown from 20% in 2007 to 27% in 2009...<br /> +<br /> Eclipse is likely the most popular open source IDE (certainly for Java/CFML developers)...<br /> +<br /> Adobe has open-sourced the Flex SDK...<br /> +<br /> Linux likely has the most vibrant open source software community of developers...<br /> +<br /> Adobe has a Flex Builder Eclipse plug-in...<br /> +<br /> Adobe provides no means for a developer using Eclipse on Linux to become a Flex developer???<br /> =<br /> I will be happy to spend $249 on <a href="http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/">IntelliJ IDEA</a>, which appears to provide <a href="http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/training/demos/flex.html">great Flex support out of the box</a>.
