"Designers who still use timeline in Flash suck and make us devs look bad. "
Um... I'm no big Flash fan, but surely that was the 'beauty' of the thing? It allows *designers* who shouldn't have to code an avenue to create quality animations, and it allows *developers* to code in it?
Of course, I'd argue that it was that lumping together of techniques that ultimately scuppered Flash, making it an all-consuming beast that didn't set itself limits so emnded up pushed down avenues that ultimately ended up irritating its consumers.
In that case, I'd blame Adobe for following in Microsoft et al's paths of trying to do everything, always.
Apple's going that way too, thankfully.
Fuck all to do with people who don't have your average developer's slightly autistic lack of respect for people who have skillsets beyond their own.
- Personally, I'd've rathered Flash stayed a pure animation tool. Shockwave & director should've done the fancy shit.detritus

- Oh? Really? So forking off the approximately shared suite of tools way back when would be a bad idea? Huh. ok.detritus
- Back in the day there wasn't much difference between 'fancy shockwave shit' and 'fancy flash shit'.detritus
