Why does that invalidate the tool? Why do we care what crap other
people do? This is about Slim teams building a better solution using
whatever the best available technology is. As is pointed out elsewhere
OpenLazlo compiles XML to Flash SWF files, so they believe the runtime
is perfectly sound and fit for purpose. Your issue seems to be with lax
development and poor production methodology, i.e. untrained developers
building web pages in a undisciplined way. 

Surely we can trust Slim-sponsored teams not to build crap with Flash
tools? Or do you think that when they see how easy it is to build stuff
they'll just go crazy?
