Yeah, a totally mind boggling statement, almost completely void of reality. I wasn't even tired of the crashes, it was just a totally awful experience of using them in every way. They took forever to load, were clunky to use and even just downright ugly because the UI had nothing to do with what you usually got to use, and was a lot worse. The idea was good on paper, but the implementation sucked.

Everyone, well almost everyone apparently, was relieved we didn't have to deal with any of that anymore.





Even Flash wasn't as bad as Java applets, and that's saying something.

Flash was great when it came to experiences. Ignoring melting CPU, crashes, loading times.
