They lost on flash. Will they lose on html and CSS?

  They did not "lose" on Flash. 99% market penetration[0] is not losing. I doubt they'll "lose" on HTML and CSS any more than they lost on Dreamweaver, they'll simply pull an Autodesk[1] and target the education and training market. It's hard to beat the Flash IDE for ease-of-use, and I imagine their new HTML-based product(s) will be the same.

    > 99% market penetration By that metric, Java has 73%, but I basically never encounter a Java applet on the web (except when digitally signing my taxes) and increasingly hardly any Flash.

    Oh, wasn't aware flash is now supported on apple products. My comments were referring to the shift away from flash. Penetration in a constricting market is not ideal.

    99% market penetration is a bullshit statistic, it completely ignores mobile which is the fastest growing method for accessing the web.

    > 99% market penetration[0] is not losing. Let's talk about trends: what is the outlook for web browsing on smartphones and tablets? How big part of these support Flash? What part of those supporting flash actually have it enabled? IE had 98% marketshare once too…

  Flex on iOS and Android kind of not making it a loss for Flash at the moment. Just check top rated games on those app stores.
