Aaah... Those will be the days. No more flash. It will be a nice thing to be without it.

Flash should die. It's the number #1 reason Firefox crashes for me..

Are you all Mac users?
No wonder that Flash crashed every now and then, it's because Apple doesn't publish the necessary APIs to make Flash perfect.
It's not Adobe's fault, but Apple's.
Stop whining about the lagginess of Flash.

So, I'm a windows user and I still agree that Flash sucks. When a window is open that has a larger flash app, my computer slows down and that window eventually crashes. I think I know who's fault that is.

I know that Flash eats your resources for breakfast, that's why I never maximize a flash windows when it's not necessary.
Just because OUR SAVIOR Steve Jobs said that he's too sexy for his shirt Flash, it won't be like BAM! Flash is dead.

I've never used a Mac, and don't have any desire to at this time. For whatever reason (MS payoffs?) Flash has never worked well in Firefox, and I can't stand being forced to use IE to view a page just so a Flash ad doesn't crash my browser. I think Google wasted their time getting Flash into Android.

I run Windows and Ubuntu and flash sucks ass in both. And my system should be more than capable of running flash.

I admit that when I see the things folks are doing with CSS3, HTML5 and Javascript in its many flavors (JQuery etc) flash starts to look pretty bloated and old-school by comparison.
