Realistically Flash isn't going to just disappear. I think everyone understands that. We just want an alternative whenever possible. I can certainly understand that Flash game creators don't want to re-write their perfectly functional games in Objective-C. The Adobe Flash iPhone complier solves that problem nicely. For anything on the web, ads, videos, navigation, etc I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a Flash free alternative. Adobe's embarrassing Flash support on OSX/Linux is a perfect example of why we need alternatives. Adobe apparently cannot even adequately support three major operating systems. How can we rely on one company to provide make or break support for an entire assortment of computing devices? Three major operating systems (at minimum) each with 32bit/64bit variants and multiple browsers in mainstream usage. Half a dozen mobile phone platforms too. To date Adobe has been able to offer good Flash support for a grand total of <i>one</i> operating system. If there weren't real fundamental problems with the security, stability and performance of Flash I don't think we'd be having this conversation at all.
