Do you know any Silverlight developers that are still happy? I don't know many happy Flash developers these days, either.

If Adobe had made a lean, mean, mobile capable player, produced an (understandable) open standard for what Flash is they could've had a shot at being bundled into iOS. Adobe's done a pretty good job of sabotaging a good thing. Maybe they'll make a fully functional JavaScript Flash player to avoid having to use the plug-in in the first place.

  Adobe did sabotage Flash and basically every Macromedia products. What's left of Macromedia innovative vibe? nothing. Adobe has 0 strategy regarding web development solutions , Flash is dead, coldfusion is dead , Fireworks is dead (a great product for webdesigners), dreamweaver lacks of basic features even a little text editor like sublime text has ... all the edge stuff is a joke. I wish there would be a serious alternative to photoshop , i wish adobe was just died.

    I still.use Fireworks 8 to do game art, especially to mix pixel art with vectors. I wish a open source clone of it existed :( Also I wish that Adobe die in a fire. The only product they ever made that made me happy is the font Source Sans Pro.

      the Fireworks community is still alive but no thanks to Adobe , that's what they killed communites. Macromedia relied heavily on communities to promote and make their soft better . It was a kind of bottom->top product management, you could make your voice heard , propose fixes, etc ... I guess the management at Adobe is different , and doesnt give a damn about the community. Is there a photoshop community ? no , was there a Flash community ? a Coldfusion community ? yes.
