#32I am glad to see that they’re backing off from discontinuing. I would really, really like it if they would let me buy it outright instead of subscribing.

#35Either it has value and shouldn't be open sourced in which case why not keep developing it.
If it has no value whats the excuse not open source it as a sign of good will for artists and developers to invest time in your ecosystem, otherwise the message is "If you build with our apps and systems you will be locked out of your work forever when its an inconvenience for us, even if you're paying us hundreds a year"

Flash editor was the magic
Indeed, Flash UI is really its strenght, the way to draw and manipulate curves, I don't think I've seen anything like it after that, although illustrating is not my trade. However, it is possible to do cool procedurally generated stuff with the drawing API, or use plain normal bitmap graphics to do things.
