If I were developing something web-only forever, I would not be using Flash, Silverlight or JavaFX. JavaFX isn't going to win from the web.

Often the only reason so many security dialogs are shown is because some developers don't realize that they can disable system access to avoid them. However, the real point I want to make is that JavaFX is best for mobile and TV applications. Flash is likely not coming to any phone for some time, but Java is already on a billion. That's why. Mobile is where it's going. You’re right that JavaFX doesn’t yet perform how we’d like on the web.

My intention is not to bash, but seriously...

JavaFX is actually intended for designers as well as programmers. Once you get to know it, I think you'd find that JavaFX is actually pretty simple. I'll agree that multimedia is not where the JavaFX team wants it yet, but hey, JavaFX 1.0 only came out a few months ago. Sorry you feel that way, man.

Why dont you provide good and SIMPLE multimedia Api for Java before you come up with a language no Java programmer needs. That SUN failed with Applets has nothing to do with Java language, but with missing the basics: far too long loading times and a missing multimedia Api.
