That seems like a pretty facile view to take. Fixing the video delivery problem isn&#x27;t something Flash randomly lucked into - other technologies (Real, QT, etc) existed for no other reason but couldn&#x27;t do it, because it was hard. Flash became the de facto global standard for delivering interactive content because it solved that problem, and a bunch of others, for a huge number of people, better than the alternatives, for <i>years</i>. If you didn&#x27;t like the IDE that&#x27;s fair enough but it&#x27;s no grounds to claim the team behind it were money-gougers with no regard for software quality.
