Yeah, I've made my living pretty much exclusively on Flash since 2008. Life got significantly easier once I moved away from Adobe's tools to Haxe, and started using as little of their APIs as possible.

I regret my ranty tone of my original post, but I stand by my criticisms of the platform. Flash had solidly won the chicken and egg race for web plugins 10 years ago. Success since then has not been based on technical merit, they've just been coasting.

Only when WebGL was already implemented in a sizeable proportion of browsers did they even bother to put 3D in the platform! Name me another instance where a company has been out innovated by a standards board and maybe I'll retract my point.

I completely agree they have been lazy, and gpu accelerated 3d should have been there ages ago. In the meantime Unity has popped up as a great alternative for indie devs who want to make 3d games.
