In the past things were quite different. Do you remember the days when Macromedia Flash was the next big thing? Okay, the browsers needed a plugin, and that was an obstacle at first. But after a relatively short while, almost any browser out there had been voluntarily equipped with the infamous Flash plugin and developing for it became a mega trend. Right from the start developing for Flash had absolutely nothing to do with web standards. Not at all. But still it made its way. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
