"By the time HTML5/browsers matures with all these technologies Flash will allow us to make a virtual hand pop out of the screen and touch our butts."
I hear people say shit like this but much has Flash advanced in the past 5 years? Let's put it this way, could the typical Flash site you would make today be possible with Flash 5 years ago? Probably the answer is yes.
The biggest advance in Flash, Papervision, came from developers outside Adobe. And that's what leads me to think HTML5 will ultimately win out, even if it lacks every capability of Flash today. The efforts of individual developers across the world creating stuff because they want to will ultimately crush the efforts of a top down corporation doing it for profit.
