[]I hate how you give me the freedom to express my visions.
[
]I hate how you work on every browser, on every platform.
[]I hate how you are not bogged down by a dinosaur-paced standards committee. F-you.
[
]I hate how you push the boundaries of the web: video, games, and all.
[]I hate how you have grown, from motion-tweens to paper visions.
[
]I hate your FLEXibility. Get out! Leave my boring desktop alone!
[]I hate that your code works. I want my bugs back. Now.
[
]I hate how you have invaded 98.9% of browsers worldwide. F-off.
[]I hate how you can work with databases, XML, and how you can be a full-blown CMS.
[
]but most of all, I hate the fact that I can never truly hate you, because in all the chaotic, unorganized, everybody-for-himself culture prevalent in the web today, you, dear Flash, still works…

…just like you say you would.

Anyway, hello everyone. Fairly-long-time lurker here (various nicks and whatnot over 4 years), but now I think I’ll be a wee bit more active in the forums.

Right on. Welcome. :beer:

Welcome! :party:

Nice little welcome post.

I hate the fact that flash is fully oop.

Welcome

He’s being serious; 3rd paragraph:

…after all, Flash render to the screen

Yes, senocular knows what I mean.

feels dumb I inversed it twice when i was thinking about it… lol. I know its fully OOP

I hate how Flash was bought out by Adobe.

As rants go, that was quite refreshing… well done that man!

I was just trawling through the oh so precious grumblings on ‘A-List-Apart’ re IE8 & browser compatibility, had a sudden flash-back as to why I moved away from html and on to flash in the first place. I’d no idea HTML & CSS had become such pompous subjects.[/ot]

You’re at 2 hates now, maybe we should turn this thread into a poetry session? :link:

I posted this on an anti-Flash, all “standards”, web developer forum… talk about a COLD reaction. 100+ views and not a single comment. Lol.
