The main benefit I see (though I am amused not to see it mentioned here or on their site) is that a lot of Flash programmers will see it's almost like AS3, and be willing and able to get comfortable with this since they "know" how it works.

However I hope the $500/license doesn't show that they are planning to emulate Adobe too closely...

The Engine Company is a small company (5 of us) based in Eugene, OR. We are self funded so we don't have any VCs that we have to please.

We feel our licensing terms are very fair: http://theengine.co/license

There is a tech scene in Eugene? Neat!
