in 2004 or 2005 i coded an SVG/JS based LOGO++ in-browser IDE and some other nice demos. (sadly the source code is now gone, thx to a corrupted time-machine backup) i really believed at that time that SVG (at that time only working (in a sane way) via an Adobe Plugin (yeah, you read right)) would be the future. i wanted to be on the forefront of technology - of A technology - and SVG was my choice. every browser and webgraphics-company pledged support for this amazing new technology! i already saw myself talking at conferences about the amazing new webpages (we still called them pages in 2005) we can build with it. i think i probably achieved that goal - i was an "interactive SVG" ninja, but nothing came out of it. now i will wait a bit longer how the market turns out before i touch it again. fool me once ... update: year numbers

  FF support came along at that time (or later), too. but it was even more buggy than the Adobe plugin. the FF implementation went stagnant then, too (for years). so basically to do interactive stuff, you were stuck with Adobe.
