Why is this being dug up again? Not that I condone flash.
- gorm 15y agoHoping to get feedback on the current validity of the statements in this article.
- watty 15y agoWell it seems like "Flash" could be replaced with "HTML5" and most of this article would still make sense - many points are arguable whether they apply to either though. Most of these are caused by poor developers rather than the platform itself. * Gratuitious animation * Granularity of user control * Non-standard GUI controls * Back button * Moving text is harder to read for users who lack fluency (haha this one made me laugh) * HTML5 content tends to be created once and then left alone * HTML5 content is typically superficial * HTML5 is typically created by outside agents who don't understand the business
