If you think that the timeline actually provides you with more control over your animation, you are way off; it provides far less, and takes more time to update / edit.
I am an animator, hardly a developer, and I will never use the timeline again (5 years now?). It might seem easier, but the performance is far worse than what you get with Tweener, it increases your file size, and generally, it just plain sucks as a "timeline" when compared to any other animation program.
I can do anything with Tweener that you can do with the timeline, in a quarter the time, and my code won't dissapear when the FLA goes corrupt. If you think that the Timeline is really more capable than flash at animating things, perhaps you just need to practice practice, because that statement shows a clear lack of understanding of properties, which can all be tweened in code in the exact same way...
