I've noticed a trend recently towards designers using either Macromedia Flash/Fireworks or straight-up HTML.

In India, when someone says "mad cow", you know it's actually a bull charging at him. -- Rohit SinhaThis doesn't answer your question, but as a general comment, I find it ludicrous how some software packages that I've paid for use DemoShield as their installer. I mean, it says "DemoShield" right there on the first screen! Come on people, do we have to jump up and down crying "I'm cheap, I'm cheap"? Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

I agree there. I don't like that it always displays the "created with DemoShield" pane like an ad almost. But, then again, we all know about DemoShield, so I guess it worked. Macromedia does the same thing though. They require in their license to include their logo somewhere when making a projector (standalone exe) with either Flash or Director. I say screw it and write your own. I mean, we're developers for crying out loud! Who really wants to show another company's logo on their product? Jeremy Falcon

Not enough resources. If we had the time and the extra person, sure, but that's not an option right now.
