---- Dynamic forms using Flash: Why did this not take off?

Put me down for "don't like change". There's nothing broken about regular web forms, and they work in a very distinctive way so that I know what's happening at all times and I know how to fill them out. Flash forms don't usually emulate that functionality very exactly.

I'm talking about little things like fonts, cutting and pasting, tabbing from field to field, what happens if you use the Back arrow at some point, pressing the first letter of the desired selection in order to jump down to that spot in the drop-down list, the reaction time between pressing a key and having it show up, etc. Even whether the cursor blinks the right way when you click on a field, so that you know you can start typing.
