It took me forever to wade through the crap on InfoWorld’s page to find this, but it looks like Flex 2 has been recognized as a Technology of the Year for Application Development. To wit:

Adobe Flex 2.0 constitutes a big leap forward for this RIA platform, thanks to a new Eclipse-based IDE for drag-and-drop layout and code management, and a separate data services application for server-side messaging and data integration. Easy connections for Web services and Java objects bolster this very good choice for enterprise RIA scenarios.
