Well, sure I'm not really a developer Steve, but that's kind of beside the point, isn't it? Most of us are not developers, but it's not like Javascript or HTML5 are necessarily any "easier" than Flash. Nor would most of the serious devs I know choose Flash over other solutions (not saying you're not serious, everyone thinks differently, but don't pretend that yours is the prevailing opinion out there among devs).
If it makes you feel better subsequent to that post I did learn AS3, Papervision, Javascript, PHP, and am now learning Python, so I wouldn't consider myself clueless when it comes to stuff like this. Sometimes I dev up stuff on my own, at work I typically am more in the role of overseeing the design and dev process, but the more important point here is that the number of projects I've come across where Flash is really an essential part of the user experience is fairly small. In the world of marketing sites it's much bigger, but those sites make up a tiny part of the web, and Flash won't live or die by their existence.
