Troublesome especially when there is a standard: W3C HTML - W3C standard CSS - W3C standard SVG - W3C standard SMIL - W3C standard AJAX - W3C standard JS - W3C standard Firefox - virtually W3C compliant Safari - web kit (10.5) now pretty compliant Java - now open sourced. Ruby Rails - open sourced PHP - open sourced the other formats are proprietary, lock-in intended, embrace, extend, extinguish, formats. Proceed at your own risk.
Is that FUD I smell? Large parts of Adobe's efforts are open sourced. Large parts of Microsoft's efforts are open sourced. All of Suns efforts will be open sourced. All have their own technology stack, so there isn't much embrace and extend that I see. All vendors have one thing in common though, they want you to buy their tools. I'm kinda sad to see so much cynicism on this list. These are all terrific, creative, and exciting technologies. I'm glad that there is so much going on in this space. I find it very exciting. It may not mean that AJAX is dead (nor should it), but it is exciting nonetheless. Alvaro Carrasco wrote:
