    Flash will never die but I'm thinking it will evolve into more of a local environment language for apps (ie AIR)etc, rather than a browser plugin. Its a great language and platform for developing, its just not ready for the modern web where mass-consumption and speed reigns supreme. Flashy things use to be cool, now, people could care less, subtlety is more sophisticated and accomplished with more versatile scripts. Flash will/should always be their as a tool, but I truthfully won't miss it on the web.

    Just look at social websites and se what people preffer:

    myspace- was a Flash-wonderland
    facebook- you aren't even allowed animated gifs
