Unless I'm missing something here or this is all "read between the lines" chatter, where does Adobe indicate/imply they will not continue to support AIR? We all knew PhoneGap was going to be part of their future in some capacity. I don't think it necessarily means they are going to abandon AIR.

But as requirements change, the codebase grows and the team becomes bigger then you start seeing the pain of pure JS development. I m mainting a 5 years old web application. I wish HTML/CSS/JS was easy to do. Things like "I want to find where this method is getting called" becomes almost impossible to do. I mean there is a reason why the best companies when it comes to web based development (Google, Microsoft,etc,,) are cross compiling to JS (GWT, DART, TypeScript, Sharkpit) or have some tools of top of it(Closure Compiler) The problem is that at most company people making decisions have never wrote a single line of code. Atleast Adobe should have supported both platforms and give people the choice. They have the money for that. Back in the days I was so exited to follow Adobe Evangelists(Blog, Twitter, etc) Always something to learn. You could feel the excitement about what they do. Today they post picutures of Cooking, Football , stuff like that. Dont get me wrong. It s their free time. They can do whatever they want. But it s sad.
