I think the article completely missed the trend towards mobile devices.  Also it fails to take into account the propietary nature of Flash and the fact it&#x27;s look and feel doesn&#x27;t fit the &#x27;web experience&#x27; (users like to copy and paste text, etc. and don&#x27;t want the UX to be different on each site).  Oh dear.  Looks like UIE are still in business though - you can&#x27;t predict every trend.<p>I remember an investment bank in London building their whole trading platform in Adobe Flex.  They really thought this was the future and spent literally millions on it.  I am not sure what&#x27;s happening now, but good luck resourcing and maintaining that project.  I imagine someone has just asked for a whole lot of cash to rewrite in HTML5, because you know standards, multi-device compatibility, etc. are important!
