I get sick of people trying to pretend that one-company-supplier plugins such as flash or silverlight are in any way an acceptable idea.


I do not like most uses of Flash, and I find most arguments for Flash to be actually for video playing capabilities (i.e. most of Flash on the iPhone arguments). But credit were it is due: Flash is accessible and easy to approach by designers and creators. JavaScript is not.
