Caveman, while I agree with much of what you wrote, I still believe Flash is ev!l and will remain ubiquitous for some time. For example, Flash is (over)used for ad animations, and I don't expect that to go away soon. Flash is also often used in the gateway page for many websites, and that hasn't changed despite CSS and Javascript being available for quite some time.
If Flash would simply shut down when no longer needed, or at least consume less RAM and CPU cycles while running in the background, it wouldn't be a problem. Because it doesn't, it's ev!l imho.
