Which one is everyone going to install: an open source flash player that's not quite compatible, or the adobe one that's perfectly compatible?

  The one that isn't abandoned, which in 2020 will be the open source one. Again, I don't see why if there's interest in Flash and Adobe is abandoning its player, the open source ones can't be made to work as well (or as bad) as Adobe's. Firefox copied IE's quirks back in the day, I don't see why it can't be done again.

    Flash is more complex than HTML/CSS/JS though.

      are you sure? i worked with flash and actionscript, and i doubt they are more complex than html/css/js, personaly i think the contrary. What make more difficult the reimplementation is the abscence of a specification or a standard.

        I am talking about the entire history of Flash from 1996 on.

        The SWF specification has been open for many years.
