The main problem for me was that it was a proprietary, terribly buggy and insecure piece of code. In principle, Shumway should fix that.

The other problem is autoplaying audio and video, which is annoying in the extreme. So I hope there will remain a click-to-activate option for this.

Isn't autoplaying now pretty much impossible to stop, short of disabling JavaScript (where that's even an option)? Web pages have become an alternative, yet equivalent mechanism to flash.
