All I am saying is that since I started developing in AIR, I have noticed the wide range of possibilities from a development standpoint as well as from a GUI standpoint that far outweighs the "trouble" of installing the app because with AIR you can build and deploy anything you want without any strings and have it look exactly how you envisioned.

So precious. I do not think that AIR is going to take off too far. Nobody wants to leave their browser. In a browser, you can have any kind of page open in any number of tabs, whether it's html, dynamic, flash, anything... An application that can be deployed in AIR can also be deployed in flash, so why would anyone want to go through the trouble (yes, in computer-land, opening another application is "trouble") of opening getting and opening AIR when they wanted to use a service that they could use in the browser? Look at websites like Mint.com. A complete financial manager built right into the browser. The only thing that would be to gain from having it in AIR, is if you for some reason just enjoy having it stand alone and look like it's own app. The consistency point it moot because a flash application will look the same cross-platform anyway. So why have to download something when you could use it in a browser from ANY computer? Oh Lukey, look at your cute little blog. So precious.
