Flash is dead. If you can't deal with this sort of change...there's the door

While I do agree that you need to be flexible with your knowledge of tools, I do have an issue.

People act as if flash is being abandoned. Its not. Mobile Flash is. Several new smart-phones and tablets nowadays use browsers with REAL FLASH on it, so there is no need to continue development on mobile flash. That's all that happened. No big win for anyone. Adobe has been focusing on html5, as have the rest of the web, and imho, Adobe has some great tools to author content in html5 already.

But don't you get the feeling this is the beginning of the end?

Obviously Adobe aren't going to abandon desktop or 'real' Flash without a viable alternative Adobe offer. After all plenty of industries are still highly dependent on Flash. Especially mine (online advertising). But my feeling is Adobe are developing a Flash author that outputs js/canvas seamlessly alongside a swf. Once we're all comfortable with that idea, then they abandon 'real' Flash.

Agreed. If you look at my other submissions, there's some good stuff re: this point.
