Yes, that would make the most sense.

There are plenty of designers who like to use flash because they are familiar with the toolset, what they need is to use the same tools with a different output format.

Of course the killer app that is missing from HTMl5/JS seems to support for stuff like webcams/mics and being able to stream in realtime. That and of course Internet Explorer staying years behind everyone else.



Hopefully Mozilla's WebAPI[1] will bring us those.

WebRTC http://www.webrtc.org/ is there and is already baked into the latest development version of Chrome. We are talking realtime streaming audio & video. I think, in theory, that is the last puzzle peace that would create a pattern which will open the gates of hell and swallow Flash (metaphorically speaking).
