Is there going to be a IDE for away3d in the same way as Unity3D?

To learn away3D (with Education license)to work with Flashbuilder I had to produce an ID card which I needed to get redone and then scan this ID and send it off to Adobe and…...then I had to set up everything when I recieved FB and import Away3D and then get Physics and find help on Away3D..

I will be frank, I sort of gave up on Away3D when I found Unity3D and the amount of help I can get for it. I also wanted to get into Mobile programming which too many people stll claim ‘stay away from flash still’. Now these comments might be true/untrue but Unity3D is middleware at a level away3D just isn’t. I really was blown away with what Unity3D can do. Even Corona SDK blew me away.

I prefer AS3 but can someone give me some ‘any’ hope that away3D will be able to compete with UNity3D/UDK in the future? Is there any plans create such a away3D IDE? I have rally enjoyed away3D and AS3 in the past but the future of these products look bleak.

I wish to be proven wrong as I have no idea what Adobe plans for the future.
I am not writing this post to flame people either so sorry if I have offended anyone.

Prefab3d, the Away3d editor. V2 is just release and is at very early stage of development. The idea is to extend it a lot in future. In contrast with most softwares, Prefab is updated very often.

As about looking bleak, I don’t think so. Actually I see Away’s future pretty bright. Tho that’s my colored personal view, so I’ll let you judge of that.
