Adobe Apollo is 'dead on arrival'

All I have heard for the past six months (by people like Ryan Stewart) is how great Apollo will be. Now people are actually able to take a look at it and the reviews are less than perfect. Read a short review on ZDNet. I'll let others' speak.

My favorite statement from the blog? "The biggest problem is the licensing. Apollo is a closed, proprietary system by intentional design. The runtime is closed, and the tools are expensive. While there is a free toolchain available, any serious development will most likely require the commercial tools. And don't hold out too much hope for significant open source competition. Adobe's licensing terms, which you have to accept to use their runtime and SDK, specifically prohibit it..."

'nuf said (for now).
