I still hate both of them (Flash and Java applets). Ajax is fine if

fine for animation (a la Homestarrunner.com), you know, the thing for
which it was designed. Anything beyond that is annoying. I'm not sure
why Java's open-sourcedness would make applets any less annoying.

Could you be more specific about what is annoying to you regarding
applets/flash? My thinking that java being open that would make
applets less annoying is the near guarantee that every one's Linux,
Windows, or Apple computer will have a modern JRE (and if not, it will
be really easy to get one). As you said, Flash was designed for
animations. Applets were designed to create rich internet
applications.
