Adobe needs to do a lot more over the next few years to convince me they are looking out for the open source community. There's also a difference between "available source code" and a really-for-real open source project. I would call Flex "available source code", not open source. I like the idea of being able to contribute to the project if it is missing a feature or if I find a bug.

Flex is free and has been since 2006. And it will be open source soon too. If you like Laszlo, go for it, but JavaScript and ActionScript are both based on the same standard, ECMAScript, and the ActionScript VM has been open source for a long time now, so no difference there in terms of "proprietariness" (sp?) :) No need to give Adobe another penny.
