worth to note that apart from the 'typical' patterns you can get some crazy results by tweaking the values. I use it in processing all the time. also it can create a simple but incredible 'cinema' style blur (the stuff you only see on movie credits) on type.

see some extreme examples here: https://ello.co/zssz/post/9skesiflcmsycfhvkdtchw and a mold like structure here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CKxaqKFBF5c/

"As far as RWD taking twice as long to design and implement, perhaps this is just a question of experience. "

That is actualy a rather bold statement and might be true for common patterns. Scaling, (and pricing) RWD is really challenging for me when it comes to unkonwn things like this:

http://www.itv.com/

Fresh identity, responsive front page. All nice and smooth,right?

But how about this? http://www.itv.com/tvguide/

well... I guess they just gave it up here. I`m not saying it is impossible to implement but I have no freakin idea how to estimate a deadline for something like this. And itv is a big company, with a decent budget.

An other example is the famous bostonglobe.com. Beautiful site, working nicely too, but it has freakin ~12K lines in the css!

So plenty of blind spots all over the place, especially for small teams and individuals like me, when it comes to estimating, scaling and pricing.

I`m not talking about haxe in genereal. I have nothing against it. I`m talking about the idea of NME which is really nice but would fail in many (higher performance visuals) cases when it comes to javascript/canvas.
