Wouldn't Flash being ActiveX on IE make it the worst as it becomes the sum of both its own and ActiveX's badness? :-P (FWIW i think that complexity aside, ActiveX in general is a nice idea - but it wasn't designed for the web and Microsoft just shoved the closest equivalent they had to applets into IE because they were afraid of Java's compile-once-run-anywhere threatening their desktop dominance and ActiveX's reliance on x86 and Windows API would put a stop on that; but didn't put much care into it beyond that point)
