I'm looking into creating a Rich Internet Application. For the interface, I want something smooth, fast, and robust. I realize there are several technologies out there to do just that (Flex, standard HTML/Javascript, Silverlight).

After using Grooveshark, I am very impressed with its interface (written in Flex). Personally, I don't think I have seen an interface written in standard HTML/Javascript that is that visually stunning, smooth, and fast.

However, I have heard many arguments against using Flex with many believing Flash will eventuallyfade away.

Anyway, I have seen solid applications built with each, and I know a decision can depend on many things. But, in general, what are the pros/cons for each technology and which one would you ultimately choose for your RIA?

NOTE: This would be an open web application with the intended audience being anyone. It's not being built for specific client(s).

I would make the decision based upon my client(s). For general "web stuff", I still am opposed to RIAs (I think they have more of a purpose in a rich client to a particular market, e.g. business -- or filling out online taxes returns -- and not general pleasure/browsing/navigating/site).

As far as Flash "fading away" -- haha. Yeah, right. We still have COBOL and Shockwave. A product with 99%+ market dominance (depends on market, of course) is hardly bound to "fade away" overnight. When the "eventual" does come, nobody will care about this next RIA project of yours anyway :-)
