SmartFox and Darkstar are cool, but they don't have a *game engine* built into them. That could really put PBE in a spot where it might become the de facto Flash MMO engine. I think even big studios would view that as a very cost efficient solution in their stampede to make the next "casual" MMO hit. I’m sure that would excite lots of people! :)

Right now the backend is fairly simple (run your SWF in server mdoe on the server), but it seems like giving people an MMO-capable integration would be exciting. What do you think?
