I second Soren... Good designers and developers must choose what fits best each website, and that should have been done by a long time, now things are just going to get more serious. Flash wont die, not in a near future, html5 badly supports video tag, there are browser compatibility stuff, there are interactive, etc etc... Flash people and Adobe just need to learn how to argue better, and this had happen before.
