Maybe I'm just behind-the-times... does it bother anyone else that so many major corporations (e.g. Google) use flash as integral components of their web apps?

Maybe I'm just behind-the-times... does it bother anyone else that so many major corporations (e.g. Google) use flash as integral components of their web apps? Especially when all the functionality could be done with some combination of non-proprietary technologies (js, html, css, svg, etc).
I understand that SWF is technically open but no Flash-comparable implementations exist (gnash, ha!).
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoIt bothers me too, but I'm happy to see the trend going against it. Apple were one of the first to take a stand on this (possibly for iPhone reasons or to better promote Webkit). Google seems to be putting a lot of weight behind SVG (with VML fallbacks for IE) but obviously that's not reflected everywhere.
