Hmm. So let's see. You have an executive that champions the technology that hired Tinic Uro and you don't see the significance of his departure? Allow me to explain it since it's overlooked.

The people Lynch would have hired at Adobe to push AS3/Flash will more than likely never would have been hired by Apple. Your heroes would have never had an chance any other place than the place Lynch just left if they stayed on the path of AS3.

Quite significant once you get outside of your egocentric view of things.

But then again, that's just me. I see the business side, I see the hiring practices side, I see the fact that you have a competent executive that people wanted to work alongside people like Kevin Lynch. Would you want to work alongside Ballmer or Jobs and still enjoy using Flash?

Oh well... I'll name some esoteric name in the next post for you to feel all nostalgic about next time.
