But at the end of the day, Adobe couldn't find enough users who didn't prefer the more professionally-oriented Flash to justify keeping LiveMotion alive.
Products that have done well from the low end (which may mean, not that they're still around but that they've gained legendary status in memory -- you can take that to the bank, can't you? . . .) may not have done it by attracting people who already knew that they wanted to do what the product did (I must make a Flash thingie! but I'm stingy!). Attracting casuals off the street, instead. A lot of people tried programming for the first time because of Borland Pascal, DeSmet C, HyperCard . . . They weren't choosing between one product and another (e.g., a pro and a lite version). I imagine a certain number of the pros on this list began that way.
