No, abused and over-powered browser plugins are dirty.
Quicktime is a plugin, do you feel its presence? Yet WWDC video pages were not HTML5 compatible and using Quicktime plugin.
The same applies to Canvas or SVG, yes they are standards, but their performance will suck worse than Flash if advertisers start abuse animations with canvas. Best part, you can not disable canvas like you can with Flash.
