That's the thing I don't understand. Why some developers are so prone to the naive following the latest fashion... I mean really.

Look, why to spend any time writing software that might be just killed overnight by a big faceless corporation? The same Apple Fan Boys who hate Adobe Flash because it is "closed" and not html5 "standard" as were told by their guru are at the very same time so heavily invested in Apple Corp closed eco-system that is just so much worse than anything that Adobe does.

I just don't get it.

I've read that, in order to get the #1 slot in "top grossing" for iOS apps, you need to be earning between $40k-$100k per day.

The publisher I'm working with has been sitting on an app that's been in the top 5 grossing for 5-6 months.

Follow the money...

sure, then write Flash people make $$$ on Flash too.
