Something I *hate* about Flex!

Flex and ColdFusion
I was talking to Simeon Bateman earlier today on GTalk, and while we were talking, I hit a point in a project where I was ready to fire up CFEclipse and do some ColdFusion work. When I fired it up and started working, this little interchange occurred:
Joe: You know something I positively hate about Flex?
Simeon Bateman: well tell me more
Joe: it makes it really painful to go back to HTML work!
I just typed "<cfoutput query="Services"><tr><td>#name#</td>" and was like "I shouldn't have to do this."
Simeon Bateman: ha ha ha
thats the best!
Simeon Bateman: well tell me more
Joe: it makes it really painful to go back to HTML work!

Seriously - I've been working on a Flex app in my spare time for the past 3-4 days, and I never realized how much time I spent on simply managing HTML. I'm already feeling much more productive with Flex, and I've only been seriously at it for a week!

I don't think I have ever agreed with you more.I too have been working on an app, mostly on the train to and from work.
My wife is amazed how much I get done in just that short period of tim.
