The casual game ecosystem is huge and owes its existence to Flash. Casual programmers (i.e. not us on HN) who are more or less graphics designers are not going to be able to grok programming a complex JavaScript html5 app and be able to leverage their graphics skills appropriately. Furthermore, they need their source code and media to be compiled and closed so others don't make quick rip offs of their games and post them as competition on kongregate. Flash is here to stay.
