Deeper issues? I respect John and his blog a lot, but this post is a bit of bologna. Kevin Lynch had faith in his product and was defending it when under scrutiny, just as the Adobe CTO should. It wasn't even that obvious that Flash would turn out to be a failure on mobile, but hindsight is 20/20 for Gruber and I guess he thinks it entitles him to personally judge a person based on one failure. It's almost as if he himself has never failed.
