I'd be afraid flash would come back. Ah, those flashbacks...

Flash is better than JS to be honest. JS still hasn't caught up with ActionScript. The only bad part about Flash is that it's proprietary.

When flash was focused, my keyboard shortcuts didn't work. I hated it just for that.

Hm. I think it was a bug in some browsers but not others? I remember encountering it but I don't remember it as something persistent.

I've used lots of different browsers. I never found a single environment where it ever worked right.

I would agree that Actionscript 3 as an implementation of ECMAscript is more of a delight than JavaScript as a language which conforms to whatever version of ECMAscript. But compiling to VMs in the browser? Never again.
