While I concur with the ‘Flash-begone’ sentiment, some perspective seems to be in order. Of course there’s always the option to abandon .swf files, particularly if they can be converted, but some may be disinclined to do so in certain cases. For instance, what to do with swf-based games or apps, which are not easily converted and may not be available in other formats? Unless you already have exploits lurking on your Mac or are generally oblivious to online risks and enabling surfing behavior, there is little reason not to judiciously use flash locally for the occasional legacy game or app, same as you might want to retain Java for important apps or applets.
