The issue is that Flash seems to be getting worst. And we see a light at the end of the tunnel (new features being added to browsers to do what we use Flash for). So the building of frustration with Flash over time, a general dislike of closed systems, and a light at the end of the tunnel has combined into the general "fuck you flash" feelings that seem to have sprang up over the last few months in developers. Which is awesome! As the web needs to outgrow proprietary plugins.

"As the web needs to outgrow proprietary plugins." I agree. What bothers me is all this "frustration" showing only after Steve Jobs mentions it. I highly doubt his reason for bashing Adobe is due to his love for open web standards -- What I dont get is how hackers can side with Apple against Adobe given the iPhone App store mess... The model of the App store is against everything the open web stands for -- I think hackers should be more upset with Apple than Adobe.
