A standardized (and importantly open) platform that executes code exactly the same is the best to execute code on.
Flash was terrific because you, as a developer, didn't need to wonder if it would run the same on every machine. It did.
It was a major hit to my productivity when Flash went away. HTML5 never really replaced it - mostly due to browser compatibility issues.
Flash was not open but chromium is. The future is oddly bright here.
