Personally I disliked the word cluttering and odd indenting in Director. If it now support more C-like its of course nice.
Its hard to say what the ideal solution is. Faster scripting/software functionality could benefit more or less all computers but 3D is mostly for those who having newer computers. Solve 3D we are into more complex solutions and speed things, and question is what is enough. For me Flash is very impressive, of the movie and plugin size and wide usage. Being into of creating a complex 3D game, it can feel closer to choose a Windows solution for example and the freedom of speed and less limits.
Director is maybe not dead, but the Flash community is definately more hot and interesting to follow.

I only skimmed the thread sorry if I am repeating other posts…
You don’t need to learn lingo to use Director, it now supports JavaScript.
Director still offers many thing flash doesn’t; file system access, True 3D of course, and options to import and use a much wider range of media. I think that while Flash is taking a lot of the market Director is (unfortunately) far from obsolete.
PS coding with out brackets is good when you’re feeling lazy.
