Toon boom Vs Flash

After learning all my animation techniques with Adobe Flash, I find it very difficult to learn and use Toon Boom Studio. Toon Boom just does everything differently. It is a very powerful program, but after learning flash, and having to basically forget what I had learned, instantly made me dislike this program. Ok, so I’ve been using Adobe/Macromedia programs for a good four or five years and always liked them, so I could come across being biased. But personally, I just plain don’t like Toon Boom. I know other people do, and I know the sorts of animations that can be produced with it, but, i just can’t use it well.

Flash:

Pros;
Very powerful software.
Can build interactive programs with it.
Industry standard for 2D animation.
Can be integrated with Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Fireworks.

Cons;
Very Expensive.
Hard to learn at first.

Toon Boom;

Pros;
Easy to jump into the basics.
Built in storyboard software.
Built in exposure sheet software.
Automatically performs lip-syncing.

Cons;
Incredibly high cost.
Can be a bit too advanced at times.
Not industry standard for 2D.

Overall;

Personally, I prefer Flash. Purely on the basis that i cannot use Toon Boom and find it difficult to learn.
