Benefit of using Open FL for Starling

If I use Open FL for Starling ( instead of just Starling ) what is the benefit ? If I get it right, as usual, it’s Open FL’s ability to get the same code ported to html5 and other platforms as well. Any other important benefits in the list? Need to understand, just in case I need to weigh them to choose which way to opt for as per the requirement of a particular project.

  1. In addition to Adobe AIR and Flash Player, you can target native deskop, mobile and HTML5 using the same source
  2. You can write your code in Haxe instead of AS3, and use Haxe libraries
  3. You can also write your code in JavaScript, Haxe, TypeScript or even AS3 when targeting HTML5 only (https://www.npmjs.com/package/starling-framework)
