Yeah, yeah, but the problem is that "doing HTML wisely" takes a _lot_ of
work. Compare it to Flash: When I do Flash stuff, I can concentrate to the
essential. I don't have to even think about font sizes, for christs sake!
(You can embed the fonts to the Flash show.) And if the font is too small,
the user can resize the whole fucking Flash window. It re-scales the fonts
too.
I agree with you people, that Flash is no good for doing web-page-like
stuff. But my point is: I'm happy that I don't have to do web pages at all
anymore. It's such misery from the beginning to the end. (Well, updating
Commie site is fun - mainly because I've tried to make the site as simple as
possible.)
And yeah yeah, of course you should _always_ make the interface good. But
again, with Flash, it's a lot easier. I don't like "fancy" user interfaces
at all. I like them fast and out of my way. No animations to user
interfaces!
