Infoworld has run an in-depth analysis and comparison of Flex to Laszlo. With over 10 times the resources, Macromedia has successfully cloned and ripped off the nascent Laszlo platform - and have a couple of things Laszlo does not have.

But Laszlo is free and open source and Flex costs $12,000 a server.

There are some subtle technical issues - but in general - gee I wonder which we should use?

BTW Infoworld forgot to mention that Laszlo now is the RIA platform of choice by IBM. They were working with Flex - but threw it out in favor of Laszlo. So Eclipse is for Laszlo now.

With IBM’s endorsement - Laszlo is poised to take it to the next level.

Here’s the story.
