Not a fan of Flash either, but the Internet is not the Web.

You say "The Internet works better" without formats like Flash. To my knowledge the Internet does not discriminate between proprietary and non-proprietary data fromats of its content whereas the basic functions of the Web do (URLs, hyperlinks,...).

Yes, but the Web is in the Internet. What's in flash in Web is in flash in Internet, and is often annoying.
The Web is an application running on the Internet. Flash is a plugin of the Web (via the browser).
