Yeah, I can't imagine building a site from scratch now without the ORM of cake, and the accessibility of YUI CSS and jquery.
It's also a mashup world as our recent clients have proven. No one owns their data anymore! Applications are built completely ontop of other companies' data - and what's the easiest and fastest way to access that data? javascript.

I ran into a situation last night that proves that FLEX has some issues...
There's a popular wedding management application that allows a wedding photographer to manage their lightboxes and allows their clients to purchase photos. The app costs $1,200 and it only allows PayPal, Google Checkout or Offline Check as payment options. If this was a javascript built app it could be extended to allow other payment gateways and plugins for other apps (Flickr import for example) that could extend its usefulness to it's users and extend its lifetime as a product. Instead, it's a compiled app that does what it does and no more...

Yeah, I have played around with Flash/Flex some time, and are puzzled if I should choose between Jquery - javascript or like actionscript - Flex. Thanks for your advice! I'm going to put Flex on the shelf and continue do my javascript thing which I'm already doing at work and home with great satisfaction. Actually JQuery has made Javascript fun again. It's at a perfect level, you can manually code together what you like, use components if you want and are not forced to use a "finished" component that is impossible to override the basic functionality..
