Yeah, and as someone who spends a large portion of my time developing Flex (so I'm biased for instead of against these technologies) my fear is that they don't seem to care/understand how bad of a year it has been. Flash 10 was released more than 2 years ago, and as far as I can tell Flash 11 is a year away even if all goes well, and the focus is on 3d graphics and shiny stuff. Meanwhile they desperately need to release a 10.2 that improves performance, has a reasonable settings interface, and integrates more fully with the browser.
- rhizome 16y agoTo be fair, at the time I thought Air was a great idea and even flirted with learning AS and focussing a not-insignificant amount of time accounting for it in my ideas. However, and I think HTML5 surprised everybody, the market has zigged where Adobe zagged. These transitions take ages to complete, but when companies like YouTube make their choices, people listen and many times follow suit. We'll see how they wiggle through the next few years, technologically, but they may be headed for a low-grade tragedy (see: Corel).
