We're about half way through adobes promise to support flash player and
air for 5 years - so abandonment shouldnt be a problem for a while yet
(fingers crossed).

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.

There is this illusion that HTML/CSS/JS is "easy" to do.
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.
