Why flash?

Flash is evil, EEEVIL! And annoying as hell! Besides, Earthlink already had webmail, just what was wrong with the old one? Huh? I really hate Flash. It's not cool to have a site made entirely out of flash, it's annoying!

It's all in how it was developed. 95% of Flash apps are just "all flash". However, given a good developer you can have quite a good application. Problem is that most flash developers come from strictly a graphical design background and don't take good GUI design into consideration.

Exactly. It's not the technology that's bad, it's the use of it. Saying all Flash is bad is like saying all digital photography is bad (as a way of arguing for film). The technology itself has nothing to do with whether the product produced with it is not good. Give me a break.

It ain't the pencil, it's how you write your name.

I agree, it makes even the most mundane tasks take longer.

I agree. Flash has come a long way, and with new development tools like Laszlo and Flex, it is being used to build real applications better than anything on the web already. I look forward to seeing this.

And i thought that AOL was bad. Who on earth would create a Flash webmail application and pimp it like it were the next generation of web services?
