With HTML5 we atleast can improve it cause the webrendering algoritms, like webkit/gecko, is opensource. Adobe is not AFAIK.
As a game developer, I have to respectfully disagree. I am not excited about mobile Flash yet, but Flash itself is a terrific platform for stable, wide-reaching casual games. With Flash11 even more so thanks to the 3D accelleration. This will become even more significant when Unity is able to target Flash as a platform.

HTML5 is good for interactive content and decent for non-distributed games, but it is not going to be a full Flash replacement anytime soon.
