[Papervision3D] best development environment (Mac)

[Anselm Bradford]

Nothing wrong with FlexBuilder for Mac that I can see, I just don't use it
because:

A) it costs $$$

B) it chews up more resources than using the SDK directly through Terminal,
so I get less performance out of my computer

C) Lastly I see it this way... What Dreamweaver was to HTML when it first
came out is what FlexBuilder is to MXML/AS3. You should learn how to type
out HTML in a  text editor first, then use Dreamweaver for convenience and
speed once you understand what it is actually doing. Same deal with
FlexBuilder.
