Since these are all preferences, let's discuss those in the context of Actionscript.
Why the hate for Actionscript? I get that the AS VM is crap by JVM standards, but, having coded several large projects in actionscript, I think the _language_ is actually nice, when compared to its ECMAScript cousin, Javascript.
AS has classes, inheritance, getters, setters. It's event-driven, with sockets. You can access XML as el.child1.@property. Working with the Flash stage is easy: addChild(), removeChild(). You can embed resources and movies in SWF files. You can load shared libraries.
What am I missing? Is it just about the AS VM? Is it the hatred for Flash?
