It was orginally supposed to come out along with or just after RB 2005
came out, I am also still waiting.

Sure, but I think you have to accept two things- Flash is really
pretty limited when compared to any programming language, and at best
will be full of workarounds and sad limitations, so that even if you
could build to a Flash version of your app, you'll likely have to
redesign the whole thing anyway, only to end up with something
inferior. The second thing is web programming isn't that tough and
working with more robust tools there would allow you to deliver a
product that won't cause someone to curse your name, plus broaden
your programming experience. The idea of one tool for every job is
naive at best. Sure I can chip through a tree limb with a Swiss Army
Knife, but if I remember to bring something appropriate, I'll spare
myself a great deal of pain.
Was I away when Swordfish got shot down in flames, or is RS just
hoping that we're all going to forget that they promised us a Web
Target, which was supposed to ship sometime in 2006 if I recall...
Well, here's one punter who's still waiting, and could honestly use
it, even if it only encompasses a limited subset of the API (like
console apps).
ASP pretty much is interpreted BASIC, at least give us an ASP target
if Swordfish is not going to happen.
