I actually prefer todays web video to having to install RealPlayer, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, Flash player, Shockwave player just play video on the web.

Choice is not always good.

Actually now you have the choice of web video utilizing codecs that came from all the companies producing the software you mentioned above, and the evolution from them to the capability we have today, be it codecs or browser support. the new openness of it created the choice you prefer now.
