I can assure you it's not just 'I' that has problems .. just about every co worker and friend, family member I know has had issues with Flash .. it's common knowledge just how bad a piece of software it is. It's not a personal poke because I couldn't install the browser plugin correctly.
But, this doesn't mean you have to ditch your Flash skills, from all accounts they are working toward production HTML5 exports .. but I could be wrong .. if so, check out: http://www.sencha.com/products/animator/ .. I'm sure they will be more than happy to fill the void if Adobe can't be a...
I understand, I wasn't trying to personally insult your intelligence. I'm assuming you've put some effort into it. But even with your ample evidence I still don't think that's enough to qualify it as bad software. How many people out there have absolutely no problems with it at all?
If that's all it takes to label a piece of software as bad then all software with a large install base can be labelled as bad.
Just to be clear, I'm not a Flash developer. I deal more with HTML/CSS/Javascript all day so Flash going away is not a bad thing for me. I just don't agree with generic statements that Flash is bad overall based on personal experience.
The point I'm trying to make is that it isn't exactly fair to say that Flash is bad software just because you, and people you know, have had problems with it. I also disagree that it is common knowledge. It may be common knowledge among people who think like you do but again; what about the millions of people who use it constantly who never have a problem with it and therefore you never hear about their experience?
