i will say as3 is somewhat of an improvement over as2. drawing in as2 was absolute shit as well.
another problem with as3 is that it doesn't welcome casual users. back during the heyday of as2, i put together a few things very quickly with pretty much no meaningful knowledge of flash. didn't give much of a shit for the technology, but it certainly had/has its uses - and going in and knocking out a quick app in a couple hours with a little googling was very gratifying. it was more of a RAD technology. now, they've gone and made it cumbersome and you actually have to dig through the api to figure shit out... fucking dumb.
a better move would have been to have flex for large-scale projects where shit like design patterns and uml shit were pertinent, and streamlined as3 for flash for better productivity... you know, to get shit done!
