One complaint I have with Flex apps is that even with a minor increase in GUI complexity, it begins to lag like crazy. This is especially true with tables; scrolling through them is a pain.

In comparison, most of the Ajax apps I use feel fairly smooth, but I guess from a developer's point of view, it's a compromise in maintainability.
