The comment talked about "goodwill and nostalgia".

The only people with "goodwill and nostalgia" about Flash, are either wearing ridiculously rose tinted glasses, or have zero clue about technology.

It can both be true that flash was a security disaster and also was the basis of many successful startups and indie casual game developers.
I have huge amounts of nostalgia, from when my parents bought me a version of flash from my birthday to kickstart my whole interest in programming, to building animations and games for Albinoblacksheep - Without flash I would never have learned to code.

So yes, some people have nostalgia with no rose tinted glasses, and I would like to think I have a clue about technology.
