My employer had some Adobe developers on-site for a few weeks to fix some bugs. Our engineers weren't impressed.
Interesting article but hardly new.
The death of Flash has already passed critical mass, it will take years for it to be totally eradicated but thankfully there is nothing Adobe can do now to save it and I have absolutely zero sympathy for them. They are one of the few companies that provoke as much outrage in me as Apple.
The internet was built on open standards and Adobe failed miserably in trying to close them (Cold Fusion, Flex, AIR all dead or dying).

Wait until you have to scale a site to more than 5 users
I'll get my coat..
Dated, but true. Just look at the amount of nonsense the poster boy for ror (twitter) had to go through to get the site to scale. They ended up practically removing all ruby from the back end and porting it all to scala..dated argument there... but fair enough, humour noted by use of winky smilie..

It's Visual Basic for the web in fairness...
Bah, I'm only winding ya!as for RoR being similar in some way to VB, absolute nonsense!
but off with ya, I won't be following up on this rubbish..
Agree with all the above. I was working as a developer for a media house when Flash first came out back in the 90's - I remember how amazed we all were by it. Fact is, Flash itself is still an amazing media tool but Adobe have totally fucked it up by their attitude to the client. For example, I'm running 3 64 bit OS's on my desktop but still have to run a 32 bit browser if I want flash support......Adobe Flash is hard to learn but it is a v.good animation program outside the web issues. It is a v.powerful program i.e. it is a tool that allows designers to create amazing stuff as animators. I can create a full animation from flash as it stands. I can create an animation from a script in flash. Flash allows me to do this as a creative person.
Point in fact: I can take a childrens book and make it come alive personally i.e. the flash is the program and tool that can potentially allow me to do this. I have also used it on a multitouch table with animations as well combined with video recognition technology It was hard work making it all work together but we did it as a final year project.
Interesting. I still cannot see HTML5 at the moment providing the complexities of flash as a tool for creation as a tool. I have used Flash with microcontrollers with proxies combined with the xml socket. This was hard to do but the results were interesting and indeed have potential in the creative sense from analougue controllers i.e. low tech combined with high tech.Agree with all the above.
