No, people use Flash because of what it can do as a platform. As "development environment" goes, Adobe's own tools are subpar and easily surpassed by third-party environments, many of them free.
Wanting Adobe to create tools that output to HTML5 is like asking Porsche to put their engines in bicycles; it doesn't make any sense. Even if you include all the tentative, beta, untested, -webkit-*, or otherwise suggested features for the spec, HTML5 isn't even close to Flash in terms of complete features.
- jasonlotito 16y agoYeah, I don't know about that. I'm not a designer, but my wife is, and loves Adobe. Adobe this, Adobe that. She's tried other free tools, and always ends up finding things that simply can't be done. And then there is the packaging, all together. Everything works together. And I can appreciate that. A single suite of applications makes it easier to learn, makes it easier to manage, and makes it easier to train others.
