    Looking at how the web is now, Flash was a decade ahead of its time. Jobs would have no argument (as ridiculous as it was) that it wouldn't run on mobile as phones get bigger and bigger.

    Not sure when we'll see nice websites again, it seems that the interest in pure creativity was killed along with Flash (I could probably write a thesis how Apple killed creativity, monopolized it and now makes billions from their dynasty...someone should write a book!).

    Flash is still there, though, and still superior in many regards. I doubt that is going to change soon.

    • Nobody stopped people from using Flash, Apple only didn't support itmonospaced
    • That is enough to scare clients and shift development. People want cross platform, and Apple refused to allow Flash. Plain and simple.instrmntl
    • simple.instrmntl
    • then why didn't the scared clients instead opt to support the platforms that did support flash?monospaced
    • mono - your argument is just illogical. Who would choose to not create for the most dominant device? That's just sillyformed
