Because native or web apps aren't "shitty"? The quality of the app isn't a direct correlation to the technology. > Flash devs also know Html+Javascript. This is not true. I am incredibly inefficient with html/css/js. I can rapidly create quality applications with Flash. My guess is that I am not unique in that regard. > So again, what does AIR offer? It offers clear wins for some people. You aren't in that group, which is fine. The Flash development community is excited about it and making use of it as we type. Arguments for or against preferred technologies doesn't change that. > HTML + Javascript ... has a lower barrier to entry (lower cost) Both are zero in terms of cost.
