    I think it's because Flash isn't just beautiful sites. It's a whole lot of bullshit, with the occasional good site.

    For example, if I go read some news article, the page might have a couple Flash ads on the side or some silly Flash navigation. It's slows down my experience, often crashes my browser, kills the battery on my laptop, makes the fan run forever, etc. All that bullshit.

    So I think people want to see flash disappear so we can eliminate all that bullshit from our web browsing experience. Yes, we'll lose the good sites, too. But eventually we'll figure out new ways of creating that stylish content and animation without the use of Flash.

    • Why do people blame Flash for the bad work done with it?CyBrainX
    • Good point. It's not the fault of Flash. Still, if we remove Flash we remove the bullshit.nb
    • Ok, so you're going to get crap HTML5 ads instead, which perform a helluvalot worsefyoucher1
    • Flash has been around for a long time, and sucks nearly as bad as when it was released. Give HTML5 some time.nb
    • Also, it's not Flash vs. HTML5. It's The Past vs. The Future. Move forward.nb
    • How does it suck? It's come along way in it's abilities, doing many many things that HTML couldn't do.fyoucher1
    • I'd hope eventually HTML could do those things but I'll probably be retired by the time that happens.fyoucher1
