Hi nikhil,
Flex and bison have superseded lex and yacc respectively. As flex and bison are compatible with the syntax of lex and yacc, any program written for lex or yacc will run in flex and bison.
I did write a small compiler/translator in flex and bison and did not encounter any major differences. So unless you are working on a really big project i don't believe Flex/Bison will make any difference as compared to lex and yacc.
