I was a Flash developer. It blows my mind how far and wide this plugin went. We're still dealing with a transition out years after it fell out of favour. It's kind of neat and a good reminder that if people start using a technology it's not so easy to simply move away from it. Very similar to the days of IE 5,6,7,8 (and yes I know that's not "over" either... but a lot less of a concern than it was). Still, faults aside, Flash was awesome. It was an advanced "Hypercard" (which I learned to build things in as a kid). I hope we don't completely lose some of the good aspects of these technologies.
