Having said that, it looks an easy technology to dip your toes in and try it out, so you'll lose little if you later decide it cannot offer you anything.

A little clarification for your readers. Adobe designed FXG to accommodate their tooling, specifically Thermo. It has been designed to replicate what exists today in Flex procedurally via markup. Degrafa is designed for DEVELOPERS, and allows developers to do things not possible in FXG, and barely possible procedurally, it expands vector markup into functional areas we have not seen yet. FXG and Degrafa target two very different sets of use cases. And the good thing is that they WILL be able to interoperate - so depending on your focus (designer versus devigner/developer) you can use both and not be forced to make an either/or decision. - Tom Hi Arno, Good Summary.
