So... unless you use Google Chrome on Linux... no Adobe Flash for you. (there's always Gnash, but is it up to the task?)
Do we need Flash? I think this one is basically for streaming services like Netflix who will not be using HTML5 unless there is some DRM crap.
Well... I'm taking a UN Security course right now... and it requires Flash. There is no plain HTML or HTML5 version, and no plans for updating it to a new tech. That's just one example (and an important one for me at this moment in time) of the tens of millions of websites that implement Flash in some way or another. Maybe in 5 years, who knows what will change, but right now Flash is an essential part of the web.
