Flex is simply the application, SDK, and the programming environment in which you create the application and program it. Also the analogy about C++ going to BASIC is a bad argument since you are switching the framework in order to make widgets as you say, isnt degrading nor is it that massive of a leap since AS3 is based off the same standard as Javascript, so the languages are fairly similiar but they both are powerful programming/scripting languages, if you know AS3 then thats great and if you know Javascript and not AS3 doesn't make you less of a programming because it isnt a higher level programming language than AS3 more like cousins. But good argument and I believe that Apple will change the market somewhat because anything is better than the current Quicktime in my opinion.
