Personally, I can't wait to see Flash fade from the internet. It's a buggy, intrusive, CPU-hogging piece of crap, IMO, but beyond that, I don't want 70% of the video content I watch and 90% of the web games I play to depend on one company's proprietary plug-in.

On a more constructive track, there's an interesting thread developing at ARS as we speak:
