Re: Fat widgets: a lesson in not understanding the end user

Hi there! I work at Sprout (I am the company evangelist -- yes, I know, I know, you can call me Scoble). And we understand that our widgets are, ahem, not as small as we'd love them to be. To a certain degree, that's the result of the way the Flex architecture works...for now. The good news is, in the next iteration, most of the junk that bloats your widgets will go into the cloud and we will lose a significant portion of that bloat along with that upgrade. But believe me, we understand your pain and are working extremely hard for future versions of Sprout widget to be lean, clean and fast.
