Crimes against Web Standards confessional is open, and I go first! I wrote two books on Adobe Livemotion. I am ambivalent about Flash tech personally, glad for those it gave joy, angry at all plug-ins, sad that #a11y and security are so compromised on the Web.

We all know the reasons Flash had to go, but I’m not up for all the dancing on its grave people do. The web felt a lot more creative back then.

Yeah, it’s not Flash I miss as much as the kind of creativity we had then.

I agree about usability being more important. How do I access the web you’re using though, if you think it’s full of creativity these days?

I don't think it's creative now. I hate it as a user. It's becoming unusable due to chemo induced aggressive bilateral Dupuytren's Contracture that cannot be treated due to bleeding. And voice input sucks. Also, vision issues now.
