Like Steve jobs, I'd love to ditch Flash too, because frankly I can't really ever bring myself to like using products from the company that brings us delights such as Adobe Reader, Adobe's updaters, etc.

However. Unlike Steve, I don't have an army of developers to build and test Javascript and CSS to make sure it works across all browsers (as you know... it won't). I use Flash/Flex because it means I spend more time creating value and less time chasing browser incompatibility bugs.

I think Flash will be here for quite some time yet.
