3.0 taking over
This has been a big mystery ever since it began, and I am here to find an answer:
Why is scratch 2.0 no longer supported?

Quote of the day: "Tutorials, tutorials, tutorials. Everywhere you look, there's a tutorial telling you how to do this, how to do that. But what are they really teaching us? Nothing but the bare minimum, just enough to get by. They're a crutch, a crutch that's holding us back from true knowledge and understanding. Why do we need tutorials? Because we've become a society of instant gratification, where we want everything handed to us on a silver platter. We want to be spoon-fed information, instead of taking the time to learn and discover for ourselves. But that's not how true knowledge and understanding is gained.
True knowledge and understanding comes from hard work and perseverance. It comes from trial and error, from making mistakes and learning from them. It comes from diving deep into a subject and uncovering its secrets. But tutorials don't teach us any of that. They teach us just enough to complete a task, but not enough to truly understand it.
Tutorials are the enemy of true knowledge and understanding. They're a trap, a trap that keeps us from reaching our full potential. They make us dependent on them, instead of teaching us how to find knowledge and understanding on our own." - @SteelLurker

3.0 taking over
While the online editor uses Scratch 3.0 now, 2.0 is still supported. I'm pretty sure if anyone has 2.0 projects sitting around that they want to bring onto the site, they should be able to do so (it's reverse compatible.)
With Flash (what 2.0 ran on) going obsolete at the end of December 2020, it was in the ST's best interest to bring the Scratch editor onto HTML, which is what 3.0 does. There also aren't too many differences between the 2.0 and 3.0 editors, so you're not missing out on much.
semi-serious
2.0 is still in the Scratch Team's heart. You can still download the offline 2.0 (or 1.4) editor and mess around with it here.

Because it ran on Adobe Flash, which is no longer supported by modern browsers, plus Flash was discontinued in 2021.
Now, Scratch 3 uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Oops, good point. I believe you can download something to have Adobe AIR run. Here's a link to it in case anyone needs it.2.0 is still in the Scratch Team's heart.

What? Something happened with Adobe AIR's support so they passed on support for it to another organization, which Maximouse linked. The article I linked explains that.You trickster.Oops, good point.

You linked to an article explaining what happened with Adobe AIR, but your post reads like you're linking to the program itself, which is a bit misleading.What?

Well, this is unusual(bc i'm not the scratch team), but I decided that I figured it out, and we don't need to worry about this any more. So… closing topic!
