I just caught a really interesting post in Digit about the Future of Flash. It makes some good points and talks to people who have been using the product for a while. Some of the quotes about it meaning more specialization for designers and developers worries me, but I think it’s a raw look at how typical Flash users see the product. Flash is morphing, and as Marc Peter says:

“There are definitely fewer Flash sites around than a couple of years ago,” says Marc Peter, creative director of interactive agency On-Idle. “But the ones that use Flash are doing it very elegantly and within context to a brand’s identity. Technology is now underpinning design and brand marketing.”

This doesn’t even touch on technologies like Flex and Apollo which are bringing the entire Flash Platform to new, more developer-centric audiences.
