I was just coming off booth duty when Chafic Kazoun was about half-way through his presentation on application components. What I really liked about Chafic's presentation was the differentiation he made between commercial components and "application" components. Commercial components would be developed for distribution and account for all the little details. Application components on the other hand are developed with a specific focus on partioning out parts of an application.
This is a key difference that I think it often overlooked by developers getting started with Flex. The overhead of a full commercial component is quite extensive and can make Flex seem unnecessarily complex. An application component is just the right amount of modularity, without undue complexity. Chafic also hinted towards the use of the code-behind approach he uses.
I really liked that Chafic used static constants for state names.
