CU,

I can tell you that recently I made a project for a client that was running
on FeathersUI with full remoting capabilities. As you can guess - yes, the
application ran incredibly fast and was a very smooth production. We were
originally going to use Flex but due to the sheer quantity of display
objects that we were intending to show on the screen at one time Feathers
and Starling was the better bet.

I won't worry about going too much with the positives and negatives but I
can tell you that I did just a few bits of housekeeping and was able to use
FeathersUI the same way I use Flex plus all of the remoting.

1. get feathers, starling, robotlegs (omar's starling offshoot), and a few
swcs from the Flex framework (for remoting)
2. put them all together
3. do a little manipulation on robotlegs to properly support the events for
mapping onRegister/onRemove. This way I can use the FeathersUI "ViewStack"
component.
4. continue business as usual building the application. Yes, styling isn't
nearly as easy but it is possible.

HTH
