if they're going to actually rival adobe in quality, i'd be impressed

the sad truth is that nothing will ever feel like flash and flash will most likely always be better quality than any freeware

i sure hope this aviary thing catches on!

April fools

2 reasons why I doubt Adobe's worried:

1). These applications are all being made using Adobe AIR.
2). They're never likely going to be as fully featured or as have as good of technical support to make it viable for most businesses, simply because there's less money being made here because it's free that they can't afford to do that shit, that it's not likely to make too much of a dent in their profits regardless. And pretty much everyone who's not a business doesn't pay to use Adobe's software anyway.
