WebGL will probably be ready sooner than molehill, does the same thing. Ecodazoo is 2-3 years old. Browsers will also add video conferencing.
There is a lot of overlap. Advantage of sticking to browsers is better integration with everything else that exists in browsers.
Another thing going for browsers is economics. Google is interested in keeping the web alive and well, make sure websites load fast, visual extravaganza works fast. They'll prioritize that because their revenue depends on it. Adobe has different motivations, so they allowed visually intensive sites to run slow for years, didn't prioritize hardware acceleration. They get their money from selling tools, don't care about end users.
It will be interesting to watch, but I think Flash's development priorities are out of touch with what people do on computers.
