Though I've always been annoyed by Flash, during the Apple/Android/Flash brouhaha I was sure that Jobs was making a mistake by shunning it. I was wrong.
It's a year or two later now and nothing stirs disappointment quite like the realization that that giant, black, unresponsive rectangle on a website is Flash bringing the Android browser to its knees. I have never seen a game that successfully used Flash on the browser. There is nothing more detrimental to the web browsing experience on Android than running across a page with Flash content.

The only reason Flash is falling out of favor is because it sucks on mobile devices. Well, there are still millions of desktops with mice out there that are not going away any time soon.
