Nobody's arguing that you should ditch Flash today, but the use cases for it will diminish over time.

Right now if you want cross browser 3D, video or animation then Flash is the way to go. But in 10 years time when all major browsers have consistent implementations of <video>, canvas, <audio>, webGL etc, etc then, sure use an alternative ;)

I love web standards but they move at glacial speeds, and user adoption is even slower.
