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.
