From Christopher Oliphant in the comments to an iPad story in the WSJ:

"Flash is a crash happy resource hog full of security holes. It is a horribly bloated and slow crutch for lazy developers. If I come across a flash based site it is skipped and YouTube's HTML 5 offers better performance, higher reliability and lower CPU utilization. Even Silverlight is superior to Flash.

Flash is dying and the existence of Flashblock and Clicktoflash and other flash blocking plugins shows that people are getting sick of the bloat and horrible performance. I run Clicktoflash and >95% of the time, flash is used for advertising, Java is used for menus.

The faster flash dies, the better."
