I don't think there's an equivalent to flash even today. The design tools and the model behind is still probably the best way to create moderately interactive content.

From ease of development standpoint? Because featureset it seems like JavaScript and or WASM has absolutely filled that neiche. There were web apps and games that were never before feasible with flash.

  Yes, the frame by frame approach and focus on vector graphical animations made people have a lot of fun instantly ( together with the great authoring tools). I'm currently thinking about a project that requires "regular people" be able to create interactive content for the web, and honestly i don't see any alternative. Where it started to go bad is when people tried designing full data-oriented websites with flash and air, but i believe it remains great for its core purpose.
