Adobe ROME = Flash + PowerPoint on Steroids

The most noticeable conceptual difference between Flash and Rome is that the Scenes are now Slides metaphorically like in PowerPoint. There is a whole new way of interaction in this product. The highlight is context based interaction. That means one does not need to interact on a different panel for example to change gradient colors, one can just directly do it on the object. Does takes a slight learning curve to find things but highly intuitive. I really enjoyed the new experience coz the designers have really not taken any constraints from earlier interfaces while building the interaction. The result is a promising breath of fresh air.
