Its hilarious to listen to ludites express opinions about things they have no concept of. They state that "one day, people will no longer have to download plugins and that is why flash will eventually die"
Flash is simply integrated into the browser, so no plugin or download required, this is already the case with Google Chrome. Remember when you would buy a PC with or without a math coprocessor? Probably not, but they arent "dead", they are embedded and its impossible to buy a computer without one. No one cares, no one buys a math coprocessor anymore or even knows what it is. Math coprocessors are there, they have not "been killed" they simply are invisible to the end user. This is what flash will eventually become, invisible to the end user. They will just see cool content and wont care if it is HTML 5, flash, or whooza wooza.

That said, if people want to purposefully block flash, they can using flash block or an equivalent. I am all for choice, but to have a corporation block my ability to choose what technology and content I can access using the device I purchased from them and now own, is grounds for me not supporting said corporation in future.
