Good God, why all the hate on Flash? It's not a piece of crap at all... It does stuff that html/js/css hasn't been able to do, and still can't. So what if a company doesn't make all their products open source; some people gotta make a buck (protect what is rightfully theirs), and Adobe is not doing it in an evil way. Have all you flash haters not seen any javascript html exploits? XSS, dirty-cookie? Are there not a pissload of Sencha/JQuery Bugs? I've developed both Flash and html/js stuff they're both great.
so why all the hate?
2011 html/css/javascript capabilities = 2003 Flash Capabilities
I keep hearing all these crappy things about Flash (performance, security, etc.) without any data to back it up. Why exactly does programming Flash suck, and could somebody show me some hard facts on Flash's 'buggyness', and there security issues VS Html / Javascript. The only thing that I've seen comparing html vs flash on smart phones resulted in flash way outperforming html 5 ( http://phandroid.com/2010/04/01/speed-test-flash-vs-html5-on-the-nexus-one/ )
