    However.ECMAScript 6 brings some pretty good things, so we might actually get something close to Flash eventually but without a browser.

    An advantage of Flash as a plugin is both it's flaw and advantage. It's an advantage that if you make something for desktop with a ton of different browsers, plugin works awesomely well and it will support things from IE6 and above with full 3D support and all the good stuff new Flash Player has. On the other hand, the plugin doesn't allow it to run on mobile devices.

    But to be perfectly honest, you don't even want to build some super super rich and interactive on mobile, so if you want to build mobile proper experience you will develop it separately anyways. So it's not such a big deal after all.
