Open Source Flash/Flex IDE (Windows Only)

I came across a free, open source Flash/Flex IDE recently called FlashDevelop. Being a Windows only product I'm sure it won't benefit many ColdFusion Mac lovers, but I have been playing with it a bit and I have to say it is really a pretty damn good IDE. It doesn't have design view like Flex Builder (although there is a slick AIR app on the AIR marketplace that mimmicks design view) but it does have full code completion for MXML and AS2/AS3. It also can compile your project for you.

This may be the nudge I needed to play around with Flex a bit more. I'm still surprised I haven't heard more about it in the blogosphere - maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention.
