This baffles me. IT is not just you.

Using Flash is like volunteering for a straitjacket. Why give Adobe
your nuts on a platter with Flash proprietary lockin? Why limit your
clients to Flash supported platforms?

Then JavaScript, is like building your house out of old plastic cups
and found bits of string. Why not use proper tools? Why invite the
headache of so many incompatible implementations?

PhP is was invented so novices could rapidly kludge together a
personal home page. It is way out of its depth for large propjets. It
is not even OO. Look how buggy the large sites are that use it.

All SW is buggy if written badly. PHP is fine if managed correctly and
the proper QA processes are in place.

I agree with your comments about Flash however and have noticed a
backlash from the average user who is sick of overly heavy and "flashy"
websites.
