Who really killed flash, was Steve Jobs with his decision that flash gets kicked out of the IPad.
Adobes evangelists really started running in circles after that.
And adobe itself made one stupid management decision after the other. And after they realised they will not get back on the ipads, they abondoned flash.
And this, after AIR ((flash for desktop) and Flex (UI Libary) were on its way to become established. Flex was really powerful. I would have loved to still use it, with a open-source flashplayer as its base. But adobe could not get themself waging to do that, so they just let it die.
