I have zero sympathy for anyone who feels pressured to convert a Flash app these days. The writing has been on the wall for so long, and there are still at least 2 whole years before Adobe cuts off support.
Flash is the established cause of so many computer crashes, so many security exploits, and so much battery drainage. It is downright irresponsible for anyone to force users to use Flash in 2017, even if Adobe promised to maintain support for another 10 years.
Edit: removed specifics about my school and computer model to avoid distractions.
The only time I bother with Flash is when I have to for an educational purpose--that is the only situation I can imagine using Flash for a net gain. No form or amount of entertainment is worth it.
- minitech 9y agoWhat do your computer model and school have to do with Flash?
- ralmidani 9y agoThank you, edited to avoid distractions.
- frogpelt 9y agoI don't think sympathy is what they were looking for.
- Marazan 9y agoThe Flash runtime was not an intrinsic battery hog. The shit swfs people wrote was the problem. The same people are now writing shit HTML5 that drains just as much, if not more, battery
