    I don't think any of us have a crystal ball and can predict the future. All I know is, the days of Flash dominating web design are over.

    All of the angst over this is ironic in a way because even before this whole flare up designers were turning away from Flash. In 2000, if you had a cool design site it was almost second nature to build it in Flash. In 2009, the attitude had shifted towards "simple is good" and "just focus on the content." How many designer portfolios did you see over the last couple years that deliberately mimicked what was once done in Flash with JS?

    You can point the finger at Apple and Steve Jobs, but really the blood is on all of our hands. We killed Flash.

    • Well, it's a given HTML5 will replace HTML4, just like HTML4 replaced the earlier version, so I think it's fair to say its not all smoke and mirrorsukit

    • I agree. However, the web is much more than just designers portfolios.fyoucher1
