Well that is up to you but you can't expect everyone else to stay in the
90's. I don't miss Steve Jobs very much but one useful thing he did was to
kill flash. Someone buying an iPad or a current Android tablet doesn't have
the ability to use flash and Linux support has been discontinued so I think
it's great that OSM is moving away from a flash based editor.

Also, if you dislike Google that much you probably shouldn't use
Seamonkey/Firefox as they have been by far the largest backer of the
Firefox project for years.
