Not a defence, but hey, Adobe started it. With their crock-tastic installers, their updating of updated updaters, everything to do with Acrobat and Reader, app bloat, market segmentation gone nuts, rip-off pricing for Europe, vulnerability-inducing setups (like bundling a needless, insecure copy of Opera) and launch times measured in aeons, they've treated their users like dirt for years.
That doesn't engender politeness.
- reitzensteinm 18y agoThey sure did! Flex is the first truely buggy language and runtime I've ever had the displeasure of working with, and I keep a list similar to this (but far less safe for work). I keep mine private since I don't want my name to be associated with it, but I'm cheering this guy on. I'm focusing my energy in a far more positive way - I'm switching to Haxe, which lets me independent of the Flash tools, and also swap away from Flash Player/swf when a better alternative comes along (it wouldn't be hard to make one, it's sad that their only real competition is from the even less competently made Java for the web).
