Don't know flash well, and how it competes.
rebol has:
short download times for graphics, because of effects and that,
working messengers, could be embedded in websites,
rarely crashs,
is interesting by itself, gives quick success-feeling. cheap "ide".
a place for rebol-programming could eventually be made a little
attraction on websites,
