> Of course I have no idea, I'm only following the development of web technologies since IE6.

You followed other people doing the development at great expense. You're in no position to evangelize anything.

> Just pick a graphics library and you'll be fine if you want to move vector stuff around. If you miss the flash IDE, then it still exists and can export to HTML5 standards.

Hahahaha, yeah please use it. Please, I beg you. Use it and then come back and tell me it's just as good.

> I'm glad it showed us the way but it needed to be gone.

If it showed the way, people didn't quite see it, they went ahead with nonsense like SVG, which didn't work, so other people created Canvas, which still was massively slower than Flash. Just literally copying Flash would've been better.

I should have said developed as well (I thought that implies it), but your head is too deeply buried in the sand to maintain a conversation.

I did use many graphics libraries before, thanks, they are fine.

I have no idea what exactly you did, but I can't fathom how you would form such opinions from hands-on experience with both technologies.

You say things like "just export to HTML5 from Adobe Animate/Flash", but if you had actually used that, you would probably tell people to stay away from it, or at least acknowledge the caveats.

I'm not a big fan of Flash, either, but you should probably chill out with the abrasive and sneering tone. (which is why I imagine you're being downvoted) If you'd like to conduct discussions like this, maybe Reddit is a better choice.
