Apache Pivot, Coming out of Apache Incubator to Main, feedback?

Question

Hello guys, Apache Pivot is coming out of Apache Incubator in very near future.
In your opinion
What are pros and cons of it?
Any specific negetive/positive points about it?

Answer 1

Pros: frakk yeah, this is how Java RIA should be architected like. Java & XML UI markup. Does anyone know why Sun has thrown away all its technologies (Java, Applets) to make a RIA? Why to invent a new language and throw away all the tools, frameworks of Java?! If I'm willing to learn a new language, I'm obviously going to go for Flash and not FX.

Cons: Multimedia support remains horrible. IMHO no chance of impact until users have to click on a huge, ugly and horrible security warning if the program just wants to access the mic & sound.
