From eWeek: "In a session billed as the browser wars up close and personal, key Microsoft, Mozilla and Google representatives spoke about the past present and future of the browser platform as they see it . . . one of the issues that stood out to me was that of developer discontent. When the Ajaxians opened up questioning to the audience, an attendee stood up and said Google's announcement of its new browser "was greeted with shock and horror," by him."

Have you used SVG or Canvas?; trying to compare it to Flash because you see two shapes on the screen and assume that Flash is better is 2-D thinking.
O, if I only had my project ready yet, I'd so prove [you] wrong. Let me just say that I'm building a couple of things that show what Canvas can do in a completely open and cross-platform compatible way.
SVG is about solving global document problems, not generating revenue for expensive tools.

Why do so many no-nothing self-employed 'web designers/developers' with only their brothers site in their portfolio think that flash is only for adverts or for media companies?
We use flash all the time, our core products use it. These are huge applications, pulling data from several hundred databases for clients. The kind of people that work in media companies as flash developers don't even get past the first screening. They haven't a clue how to do what we are doing. Neither have you.
Edited: try reading the post I was replying to, and your see why I'm talking about flash.

Flash has all but killed SVG. Why? Because the numpties that drew up the specifications probably never actually tried to use the specifications to actually make any thing. If they did they would see why the geeks use SVG, and why everyone else making websites sided with Adobe and Flash.
