Well, in principle this sounds like maybe a nice idea, but, just my
personal views:
i> It supports only a subset of features in Flash, so is always going to
be considered 'inferior', and for a lot of projects, impractical, etc.
Better something than nothing, besides being fresh of the block
ii> It continues lock-in with adobe's
proprietary development tools,
giving the illusion that one can use CS3 Flash or whatever and create
something that works as Flash and html5, which is not true, due to point
i>.
EEK.
iii> From what I can tell, though this is not
backed up by hard numbers,
the html 5 generated seems to perform worse than the flash versions. This
creates the impression that html 5 is 'slower', which I don't believe is
true but has more to do with the conversion / generation process.
Liveable for starters.
It's mostly point ii> that makes me a bit
uneasy - I find lock-in to
adobe's monstrous development tools a bit scary, and this seems to
perpetuate that rather than get away from it .. I may be looking at it
from a wrong angle though ..
+1. The whole point is to get away from that bear hug, performance
notwithstanding.
