    With the improvements that are being made to the flash platform by adobe and the general community (remember this is where paper vision came from) there is absolutely no reason its going die anytime soon.

    Its freaking powerful at a visual and web application level - but requires good programming like any real language. With the introduction of flex, it has become powerful at the desktop level as well. The problem is there are too many amateurs out there using it to make garbage...the same goes for other creative software as we all know a "client whose nephew has photoshop and could do it for 15 bucks".

    It's more expensive to develop yes, but vastly more superior. Give me a call when you can develop this in HTML:

    Procedurally generated creatures that fight in dynamically lit 3D, with AI and all. A feat, it even runs well on Firefox on my freaking mac. The guy who coded this doesnt use pv3d either, it's his own personal kick ass one not available to the public.

    The truth is too, as long as consortium controls HTML - things will move slowly and painfully. Let's face it, the big players are never really going to be friends. At least with adobe if they want something possible in flash they can simply do it :)
