[osflash] ASDT or FlashDevelop

[Chris Allen]

Well I prefer an Eclipse solution for all the reasons that Carlos
mentions below. Plus it allows me to program in multiple languages
without switching to another tool.

Anyway, I think that the ideal ActionScript editor that's going to
make everyone happy doesn't exist, nor can it ever exist. It totally
depends on your preference and what you are doing.

Keith, Eclipse rocks and you know it! :-P (We have this discussion way
too often)

John, I know that you were using FlashDevelop before you started
working with me on our current project. Don't you find that the
integration with Perforce, XML editing, and the Ant support with
Eclipse makes it easier to work as a team?
