You say

Openstreetmap is a prime example, the best UI they could build was in Actionscript, against java, HTML, python and c++.

But this is not strictly true. The best UI for editing OSM is written in Java, and it is called JOSM. It's not online, but this allows many features such as plugins which would be impractical on the web.

You should say "The current UI, Potlatch, for editing OSM data on the web uses ActionScript".
