I don't understand why Flash is so bad. The general concept of having a plugin with a rich built-in API makes sense for a lot of reasons (natively compiled code in the plugin, smaller download of additional code). The problems with Flash are: (i) it's proprietary, and (ii) it's not on 100% of browsers. (i) is mostly a complaint from developers based on principle, and (ii) -well- isn't true for Javascript either if you include mobile browsers.
Disclaimer: my app is built on Flash.
P.S.: 280slides is great! And very impressive this was done with JS.
