We don’t really like it, do we. Security issues, CPU eating, crash-generating. Did you try running Youtube in HTML5? It works fine.

Here’s the deal. I used to work for the company producing Flash. I supported people that had issues with Adobe Flash player. No wonder Adobe allocated web support only, considering the volumes of troubles we would have had otherwise.

Before the era of Adobe, I used to produce content with Flash. Flash is fun. Creative people use Flash, I found. They create beautiful stuff that takes minutes to load (unless you reside in Sweden, where they have up to 1gb broadband connection). When wanting to go back, tapping backspace will not do the trick. In short, Flash is not very practical.

As in the article linked in the beginning mentions that Flash doesn’t work well on Mac OS X, I would like to ask: Where does it work well? I have used it on Windows and I rarely find it a positive experience (except in the few cases when the connection is very speedy, the computer includes good hardware, the content in the website is made by professionals as linked above and all various other factors that needs fulfilling. But it is a bit too much to ask of each and every person, isn’t it?).

I find Flash impractical, beautiful, demanding and out of date. When I Googled these words, the first link that came up was related to Internet Explorer 6. Therefore I would like to encourage all Flash promoters to speak up, convert me. Please.
