I am faced with a unique problem and probably need some external help and advice.

In my current company, I am set to develop a product that in broad terms is something similar to say Photoshop or Flash ( much much simpler than that.. But that should give us an idea! ).

Now I can develop both in JS/ HTML and AS3 / Flex.

Given the current scenario which would be the best environment to develop this app? By the way this app will be deployed only internally currently and will not be opened to our clients until say for another year. Even if we do the number of people who will use this app wont exceed 100 (That’s over estimating under the current situation, but still..).

I am quite comfortable working with flex and to me Flex seems like a good way to approach this. But the popular vote has been to produce this with HTML 5, since apparently “Flash is dead” or dying.

Now.. If I am going to be using HTML in this scenario, which framework do I use so that I dont have to build all the UI elements again?

Any help or advice in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

    I have finally decided to go with GWT since it is the next closest thing I can find.

    I am currently evaluating GWT and Dojo and seemingly it provides me with a good IDE support ( since its java ) and apparently it supports all the new HTML 5 stack. More importantly it can work with other javascript frameworks where necessary ( like jquery? ). Apart from all this it is going to do some really cool code optimization and compression that will supposedly improve performance over direct hand written code.
