2002: The DOM blows, use Flash 2008: The DOM blows, use Objective C 2014: The DOM blows, use CSS matrix3d 2015: The DOM blows, use Canvas

@jesterxl Folks have experimented w/rendering DOM in Canvas since ~2010. Losing text-select, a11y, copy/paste etc. limited broad adoption.

@addyosmani @jesterxl what does "limited broad adoption" mean?

@sethladd like those raised (accessibility primitives, copy/paste, text-selection, reader-mode support and so on) @jesterxl

@addyosmani @sethladd some Enterprises don't care, and love t3h speed. That's why we got away with Flash for so long.
