I think it is a good thing that Adobe ends the SVGViewer, because everybody knows in the meantime that Adobe has a new technology Flex/Flash and SVG is competing to this. Now SVG has the possibility to grow to a nonpartisan standard which is not influenced by one company
But the way Adobe tries to constrain each SVG developer to Flex/Flash is very bad. EOL of SVGViewer is ok but removing the product within 1,5 years from market is not ok. They know that there is no alternative for IE at the moment. I agree with Jon that this time slot should be think over by Adobe. With Flex/Flash i have no alternative to SVG i think. With this product i have the same thing we had with SVG in the past. Adobe has the only control because a plugin the FlashPlayer is neede. Who say to me, that Adobe will not said in two years: i have a new technology because of this EOL of Flex/Flash in one year? Or all users now use Flex/Flash now they have to pay a fee for using this product. This imorally, but Adobe use this procedure with SVG why not with other products too.
