[]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.
