EXT JS Designer Preview Finally Released

Awhile back when Ext 3.0 was still being built, I saw a video of an Ext JS designer, which looked similar to Flex Builder. I've been waiting its arival ever since.

Today they released a preview version that allows you to experiment with the designer interface and to explore how configs affect your layout. They say soon you will be able to build your application components using base Ext components and Certified user Extensions. The application is an Air App making it platform independent if you have Adobe Air installed for Windows, Linux, or Mac.

What came as a suprise to me is the fact that code generation is not currently available. They intend to charge a fee for this service and to enable the community to create and sell their creations. They "want to be the iTunes of Web App Development". Well... everything can't be free in life, and this app should save me hours of development.

I can't wait to see what this brings to the future!
