Did you ever created a simple arcade game?

There is indead still nothing, that beats flash in this regard.

And flash games were somewhat popular with users as well.

I didn't do anything in flash since it cost money and I had none at the time. I was making games with other tools and programming languages. Played a lot of flash games too. The homepages made purely in flash was realy annoying though.

"The homepages made purely in flash was realy annoying though."

Most of them, yes. Because they were "programmed" by people not good in programming or UX design. But flash enabled even newbs to build awesome stuff - and it had powertools for the pros. The workflow I had back then, I never found again in any other tool. So it has nothing to do with not wanting to learn something new - there still isn't something alike. And that is quite sad, despite the flaws of the flash player and adobe.

(oh. and flash was for free for students and also easy to pirate)

I'm more of a programmer type, had already worked with assembler on Atari and was used to that way of working.
