Abstract: Flexible and rigid methods coexisted in symplectic topology from its inception. Though overshadowed by the spectacular development of the rigid side, the flexible side of symplectic topology also had, and continues to have a remarkable success story, especially in the last 3 years. I will survey recent developments in my lecture.
