I get really tired of the industry's widespread bandwagoning on this issue in particular.

I get really tired of the industry's widespread bandwagoning on this issue in particular. This bandwagoning dismisses more collective works and industries than any technology in the past just for the sake of promoting bleeding edge, evergreen tech. What about the game industry? What about the animation industry? HTML5 doesn't replace Flash for those arenas. It's blatant ignorance for individuals to even come out and claim Adobe should set and end of life date for the product. Sure Flash has had some issues, and they came at the expense of FutureWave Software, Macromedia, and Adobe moving faster than anyone in the web industry at the time, with different goals, that just happen to now be of interest to web developers at large. The reality is that web tech has just eaten into and provided standardized variants of features that Flash/Shockwave has had for over TWO decades. Yeah, real progressive of the web community. _Slow clap._
