As someone who programs in ActionScript very often and makes heavy use out of RTMP, I'm very well aware of Flash's shortcomings and how quickly they would be fixed if it were more open. However, I really wish discussions like this weren't full of so much empty talk. If you don't like Flash, don't use it. Uninstall the Flash player and leave it all behind. Fact is, they have succeeded in getting a proprietary and commerically-trusted video codec available for the masses. If you think that is such a small feat, or such an insignficant reason to keep it closed, I challenge you to do better. If a lot of people really didn't like Flash and actually didn't something about it, Adobe would get the message REAL quick.
- protomyth 17y agoI think the HTML5 people are doing just that, and I think this string of blog posts Adobe is pushing out is the reaction. I think the bigger problem is that Adobe Flash team and certain Adobe executives are not quite dealing with what their customers are telling them in a mature way or totally truthful way. This tends to annoy people.
