There are a lot of opinions on the future of Flash. It would be interesting to see the statistics at the top of the article from now on, to see if flash will shrink fast, slowly or remain strong. Or even grow, but I would not bet on this last one.

I wonder how many times Adobe has these same arguments pasted all over their site. The exchange has been had. If you tried any harder to push your relevance, you might even come off as a little desperate.

Adobe: Please stop defending flash and get on with your life. Build us the HTML tools you said you would and do it so fast that I will forget about all this flash stuff.

"19 out of the top 20 device manufacturers worldwide have committed to shipping Flash technology on their devices"

It would be more wise to actually wait till you can deliver a decent Flash implementation on a mobile device before touting your mobile position. Because your mobile position right now is that you have been promising the world but not delivering jack.

I was surprised to see that only 70% of web games use flash. Anyone have any idea on what's in the remaining 30%?

Okay, so you read the interview where Lynch says "It’s not about HTML 5 vs Flash. They’re mutually beneficial." and you're still expecting Adobe to replace "all this flash stuff"?

Despite all these high figures and percentages, I still typically find Flash annoying, bar video players. What now?

It's a good thing they didn't have any flash on this page or my browser would have crashed before I was able to finish reading all the reasons that flash is awesome and I can't live without it.
