Adobe is horrible at marketing. Defend yourself Adobe! Defend what you and so many people spent so many years investing in! DO SOMETHING!!!

For awhile I thought it was marketing and PR problems.  These days, I think people are correct, Adobe is abandoning Flash.  I'm sure there are enough smart people at Adobe that realize we still have, and will continue to have, a need for a good VM/compiler that will allow us to develop once and deploy onto a variety of desktop and mobile OS's.  I just think the brass at Adobe doesn't want to be in the business of building it and supporting it anymore.  They are going to let someone else deal with that headache.

Too bad, I've been using Flash since swf-version=5.  I will miss it.  But that's ok, bring on the c# I guess...

If they are abandoning it they are leaving no options to many developers and companies. They would not tell the public they are abandoning it because of a backlash and people would stop buying Flash Professional and Flash Builder altogether. People also buy Photoshop and Illustrator for Flash work. The thing is, if they promoted Flash and gave some idea of it's longevity they would increase there sales. They would do well for their company.

Is true, all the peaple know, Adobe is a bad dad . And now, do not care either Flash technology nor his community.

Would be amazing that another company that love Flash platform and his technology buy Flash platform.
