Over-analyzing things is one of my character flaws; roger that, I won’t!

Just for the record, I wouldn’t make a negative comment unless I thought it would be constructive too. So… I mentioned it because I thought you had some good arguments in the article.

Any comment about Central is either: speculative (and open to interpretation) or based on the current version (which really isn’t “done”). Your article was the first in print that I’ve seen to go into what Central MEANS.

I wouldn’t over analyze it.

I don’t know….

I think that we’ll progressively abandon the browser ( in fact we’re doing it now, at least I’m doing it ), and I like the way that the component architecture is implemented ( you can build a complex application that weights only 10 Kb ), but….

I know it’s still a developer’s release, so the performance issues ( at least I suffer them ) will disspear from the following version, and I know that, as a emerging technology, well, it’s emerging, so there are not too many applications yet. And all the applications look exactly the same. I know it’s because of consistency ( does that word exist? ), but what I always loved about flash was the fact that you were completely free to do what you wanted to do, and make it look like exactly as you wanted to.

As a developer, I see it as an opportunity. Maybe not know, but probably tomorrow.

So, I have mixed feelings.
