It bothers me that people seem so <i>angry</i> at flash. It's been the only way to do so many things for more than a decade--and the technology to replace it isn't even really ready yet.<p>It's now more than a decade old. Of course it's going to be replaced at some point. But let's keep in mind that the open source/standards complaint alternative is <i>fourteen years late</i> to this market, and give credit where it's due.
