At the end of the day Flash builder needs to be one step ahead of Flash Develop, atleast. Flash develop being free and so light weight proves that things can be achieved perfectly and among all people Adobe should be able to pull it off more perfectly.
All these are valid points. Lets see if things change.

I’ve been doing a bit of refactoring lately, and Automatic Class Importing would’ve helped streamline the process. My only other real gripe is the inability to change the getter/setter template that Flash Builder uses. Resorting to Eclipse Monkey for this sort of functionality is ok, but it would be nice if it was integrated directly into the software.

I agree, and have published my own personal list of things that could be improved. The main thing is code completion. I want FlashDevelop’s code completion in Flash Builder. It saves me hours, literally, hours of time over the course of a week. Also, like you I don’t want Flex SDK in pure AS3 projects at all. Solid recommendations here, Jesse.

There’s a Flex plugin for Visual Studio so no need to switch to Silverlight

It’s called Amethys Professional.

As a few folks have already mentioned, please check out SourceMate.

SourceMate adds a tremendous amount of features to Flash Builder. It doesn’t solve every concern on this list but our users tell us they’d never go back to just plain Flash Builder again.
