Flash has other problems besides security exploits.
* It's a single-vendor/proprietary runtime.
* It's not even available for mobile. Most of the content that uses it is made for desktops.
* It's a black box.
* It doesn't work great on platforms Adobe doesn't prioritize (if it's even available).
* We have to wait for Adobe to fix bugs and vulnerabilities.
All Chrome is doing here is phasing out the Flash Player runtime.
Even when support is dropped entirely you can still use something like OpenFL and/or Haxe and target the web with it if you still want to use your Flash skills.
