[_]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. [/list] [/font] \ 👼 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. ---

As rants go, that was quite refreshing… well done that man! [ot] I was just trawling through the oh so precious grumblings on ‘[A-List-Apart](http://www.alistapart.com/articles/theyshootbrowsers)’ 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] ---

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.
