Trouble is, you're talking about you. Who may be perfectly logical and make sound decisions in the software you use based on the quantified experience. I've used enough Adobe software to confidently say that all of their software is not shitty. In fact, a few tools are indispensable. Photoshop, Aftereffects, Premier come to mind. In this "Adobe vs. the world" motif, all I see is: Adobe the dirtbag, and Apple the renegade hero with faults that preclude their existence. I, for one, am sick of it. While some of it has plenty of merit, the rest of it is tea-bagging, Republican-style fact-swaying that results in false information and a false result. Due to the assumptions laid forth for the "greater cause", we end up with no resolve. Just a table of "how we feel about Adobe" to reference without the bother to verify any positions or information or learn any lessons going forward. The gang mob anti-Flash movement carries with it an original truth that no longer exists in it's current form. Which is: The Flash Player platform should be open. I tend to agree. But what we end up with is: Death to plug-in arch (a complete opposite of open-web, IMO), death to experimental UI, death to technique that exists outside of W3C. Not understanding that Flash compilers are open source. Not understanding that frameworks like Flash carry with it underestimated advantages to moving the web forward. This comment will likely get downvoted (if anyone even reads this far before deciding I am pro adobe) and some dude with a backhanded comment goes up. Logical? Nope. Trendy. Yes. We're not learning anything from Adobe nor is Adobe learning anything from their market. That's their problem, true. But it's 2010 and we're getting video in our browsers...finally. And the bad guy is Adobe. Think about that.
