One part of flash that's definitely appreciated in the artist/animator community is the editor. It's surprisingly simple and intuitive, while still being powerful for power users. Some of the features made it into after effects, but at least currently nothing really compares. Lots of YT/NG animators are still using flash. Newgrounds has an open source utility that can convert flash animations into HTML5 for the sake of preservation iirc.
