""A lot of Flash hate comes from people who either never learned Flash and they felt left out, or they did learn it and then just stopped following the technology...""
Sooooooo true.
Or they say that it crashes their browser, that they use Click To Flash, etc etc.
Ok, let's hypothetically say Flash disappeared tomorrow. Do you really think designers won't be pushing the limits of what HTML5-CSS-JS can do? They'll be plenty of super slow running websites that are trying to do too much with the technology, crashing your browser. There's always going to be that site that runs like shit on the average computer but looks awesome on a super computer.
Do you think sites will stop displaying 3 ads on a webpage? Haa. No way. Do you think the people that created the site would create the ad that it hosts? Obviously not. Do you think the person who created the HTML5 ad is going to try and push the limit of the creative? Sure will be. Will you need Click-To-HTML5? Ever see an animated iAd? How'd your iPad run during that?In the end, how is that better than what we have now? How is that not pushing us 10 years back?
Anywho, this horse has been beaten so many times. A year from now once this hype is over, mobile hardware will become better. Flash will be leaps and bounds ahead of any other implemented rich media technology. HTML will still be used to create simplistic sites. Steve Jobs will pass. And iOS will run Flash simply because all new TV's run it natively and no one will care to download apps from a "phone", since that'll be considered old school. Time to get out of bed.
