    The Flash fanboys here all seem to be designers. I'm really curious why this is.
Really? Try to write code using a brush on a canvas. That's what designers feel having to design using code. It sucks.

I was doing visual design using code 30 years ago. It's doable, sometimes even preferable. It only sucks until you develope a facility with the tools. Just like watercoler paints or charcoal; which I've used for 40 years.

Design happens in your head, but it's a feed back loop between your tools and your imagination. Different tools _do_ influence the outcome.
