If you look at it from an angst ridden Flasher would, then suddenly you'll 
understand why these comments continue to appear.

"I fought adversity, and fought to a completely alien, non-corroborted, 
un-tested and unproven technology; using Flash to make internet 
applications.  I fought the ignorance, continually ignore the spite from my 
peers, ignore the wining (and dying) Director developers.  I wrote books, 
articles, blog entries, and spoke at conferences to help educate & endorse 
the technology I love and use daily.  In effect, I was a part of, and helped 
make the RIA revolution.  Suddenly, Macromedia creates an improved workflow, 
a much needed paradigm shift in the way Flash apps are made.. and prices it 
out of my market?  WTF!?"

Granted, hindsight is always 20/20 and many of us cannot see the roadmap 
plans, nor respect the good fortune that arises from being respected in the 
Enterprise sphere.  Still, if you look at it like that, you'll understand 
why people get angry.

Not going to debate the charts issue, but...

Arguably, we didn't, since the wild success of our 1.0 agenda is
precisely what allowed us to bootstrap development to let us now enjoy
the luxury of expanding to a more diverse and ambitious product line for
2.0.  We could never have achieved our 2.0 goals as a 1.0 product, IMHO.

Speaking as J. Random Developer with zero bizdev knowledge,
