It says all the things I’ve been thinking re: the “demise” of flash, but have never seen expressed elsewhere on the web. I love flash, and love javascript but I also know that each has its place and its own special strengths. Flash is one of the most versatile tools out there (which is why it’s so ubiquitous on the web) and I’m confounded at all the uninformed, misinformed, “bandwagon” flash-bashing I’m seeing out there.
One point that’s missing from your essay is that developers will have a very hard time protecting their content in “open source” HTML5 format. At least in Flash you can own what you make.
I also wish you had expanded on how easy it is to publish an app for iPad (or IPhone) in Flash. Is it really as simple as clicking a button to publish in that format? On second thought, if it is that easy, it’s might be a good thing for us “in the know” to keep from the rest. ;^)
…But seriously, Flash is great. It was my gateway to programming. Adobe should be tried for incompetence for letting such a versatile, accessible, and successful product fall into such disdain. They really need better P.R.
