Wow. Snap looks beautiful. Nice one, Dmitry.

I've been enjoying working on my own SVG library, Pablo[1]. It's inspired in part by the fun I've had using Raphael, and wanting to explore what can happen when SVG is a first-class citizen of a library.

When I added the ability to import existing SVG images into Pablo, and to export the generated SVG in different image formats[1], I was pretty thrilled by the possibilities of having a JavaScript bridge between the design tools and the web app, the designer and the developer. And I see that Snap is also totally aligned to this kind of interaction between the web app and the external graphics tools, like Illustrator, Inkscape and SVG Edit.

The obvious next step is for a drop-dead simple visual interface to choreograph the graphics and the animations, with hooks into the rest of the JavaScript application. It could might be a game, interactive art, a visualisation or anything with graphics. Flash is dead, but there is nothing that exists for the open web that is as intuitive and fun to use as the Flash IDE was.

It must be just a matter of time before a tool as brilliant as the Flash IDE comes along for the open web, and I can imagine it makes a lot of sense for Adobe to be in on it.
