Geeze, does *anyone* read the article?
Flex is the SDK, the new IDE will be based around Eclipse, the data side of it will eventually be based on opensource technologies.
Why do people *assume* and IDE has yet to be written when it is clearly writtein the article what the future intentions are?
The company said it will open-source the Flex software development kit, which includes a compiler and libraries designed to speed up development. It plans to continue to sell Flex Builder, an Eclipse-based development tool, and Flex Data Services, server software for accessing corporate databases.
IDE is done by Eclipse, Dataservices closed source, but possibility of having it written by the opensorce community, and SDK which includes compiler etc. So really, the only missing link is dataservices.
