It's an informative website where HTML fits perfectly - not an application, neither an interactive experience which are the real use cases for Flex. We shouldn't do the same mistakes that have been done in the past with Flash being used for informative websites. But if you're talking about demos and a showcase of Flex applications - then I'm completely with you. We miss a centralized place where people can see exactly what can be done with Flex (Flex.org was a good example, but the showcase is quite weak, IMHO). João Saleiro
