Ya, I've always hated Flash. I prefer web standards instead of plug-ins. But that being said, I'm not quite sure HTML5 is ready quite yet to completely replace it, Flash isn't ready for the iPhone/iPad yet either, so it's a horse a piece.

Just glad to see the standards movement didn't die because of Youtube.

BTW, if you're a Mac person, there's an awesome plug-in called Click for Flash, which blocks all flash from running until you click on it. Basically, blocks all annoying adds, but still lets you make one click to watch a video. Also automatically grabs any YouTube videos and plays them in H.264... so awesome.
