      @xahlee The problem was competing with Flash. For most of the history of open standards animation, the industry response was, "why bother? We can just use Flash." So, yeah, 20 years of hot air. Today, the easiest way to do animation is video-based and winds up on youtube. Until the tech is simple/tooled enough for _regular animators_ to use it, it will suck, and never be thoroughly tested / revised.
