Has anything replaced Flash as a productive way to build animated games?

Construct[0].

I used to sneer at such tools, considering them "not real gamedev". That was until, on one local edition of Global Game Jam, a designer in our team did in Construct in 15 minutes what took three of us coders a couple hours. This drove home the point that we were really overcomplicating things by coding a simple game from scratch (in XNA, back then).

[0] - https://www.scirra.com/construct2 is the one I played with, but they also seem to have a web version now, for better or worse, which is available at https://www.scirra.com/

Unity / Unreal (which can be quite accessible for projects that constrain themselves to built in features & asset store components)
