What? Flex Builder the only IDE for as3 apps !?!
How can you not know about FlashDevelop?
It’s been around for a long, long time now and it’s used by thousands of as3 developers worldwide, including me and all my developer friends.

I can’t make sense of this program. What are the benefits of FDT? I miss screenshots or something like this on the website, there is only a list of key features. Is this program better than flexbuilder?

I wouldn’t want to live without FDT or it’s equivalent. Even as a “glorified editor,” its’ features save me *so* much time while programming. I haven’t spent the time wtih FlashDevelop to know the differences, and I agree FDT is pretty expensive. Can anyone point to a feature comparison of the two programs?

@Rick In FDT's defence, the debugger is 'coming' soon as is an MXML parser and advanced refactoring, and since the tool has a whole host of great features already, see the product comparison, I think terming the tool useless is not entirely accurate.

Without a debugger this is is basically a glorified editor. I.e useless.

With Flex SDK you can make application anywhere but for the IDE FDT is great but it costs

you can also check FlashDevelop which is great for me
