Tell me you never used Flash by not telling me you've never used flash.
Flash's USP and core value proposition was the (IMO) fantastic IDE that you used to create flash apps and animations. It was exactly as technical as you needed it to be. As you upskilled you could do more things, but more importantly do the same things more elegantly. In stead of a manual animation you could script it out in AS3. I loved it and I'm really sad that I only entered the professional workforce as Flash was on it's way out.
- Varriount 3y agoI still mourn the disappearance of the game development and distribution scene that Flash made possible. It seems like all we have these days are walled-garden app stores filled with pay-to-win, ad-filled games.
- jaysonelliot 3y agoFrom a gaming perspective, I agree that Flash was excellent. The current era of ad-filled pay to win games does suck.

- jaysonelliot 3y agoI was developing Flash since before it was called Flash, back when it was called FutureSplash Animator. I'm not talking about the IDE, I'm talking about the user experience that could be created with Flash. As a UX professional, the death of Flash was one of the most satisfying moments of my career. It's hard to overstate how much better the web is today than it was when it was overrun by sealed-off Flash sites.
