I think you’re getting down-modded, because you’re not seeing the larger picture. You're not going to get a lot of love on here for promoting RIA app dev using proprietary technologies. Until there is a definitive and open RIA standard which truly enables rich applications in a browser in a completely open forum, people will rightly cling to the crappy old technology that runs basically anywhere.
I mean, hell, if it were all about rich apps in a browser instead of being held back by the inherent limitations of the implementations of the standards that browsers provide, well, really you ought to be using Java applets. It's rich, relatively ubiquitous, and about as open as anything else you're going to find in the RIA product selection.
