Moving flex based apps to a JavaScript based framework can be difficult. At first we started by building completely custom apps and coding each widget manually. This was tedious and did result in us being able to provide all the same functionality we had in the flex maps. The Web App Builder uses a more comfortable UI where we could drag and drop features like search, pop-up windows, and embedded links without having to write much JavaScript code.
