Visual Studio Actionscript Editor
If you are a Flash developer (Actionscript 2.0+ specifically) and have ever used Visual Studio you would probably agree. VS is so nice. In working with the rewrite of Kode 2 Go, which is done in C# (for many reasons), it was just so nice working with the code. The Intellisense is superb.
FlexBuilder 2.0 (FB2) is super nice as well but I STILL think it pales in comparison to VS. I love working with FB2 but sometimes it can be a bit slow/sluggish, noted it is still in beta. This I would credit to Eclipse rather than FB2 but either way…it isn’t as slick as VS. Plugins like ReSharper make the coding experience so nice.
I think one of the biggest things might just be C#. It is, in my opinion, much more robust than AS 3 and a great pleasure to work with. Things like overloaded methods are highly useful and missed, by me at least, in AS 3.
Anyway, this is nothing but a wish with no “solid” substance, which is why it is file under the “I Wish” category not the “Arguments” category. :-)
