Of course it it's not, as anybody who uses anything other than 
Internet Explorer on Windows knows all too well. It isn't even close 
to being an interoperable part of the Web. The sites that use syntax 
work. The sites that use DOM and JavaScript don't.

Ditto, though Flash is marginally more interoperable across platforms 
than JavaScript and DHTML. That probably has something to do with 
Flash not being designed by Microsoft.
