As an animator it's a shame flash is dead. As a (somewhat security conscious) internet user I'm very glad it's dead and buried.

As an internet user flash never caused me any problem. It didn't run without a click, so it was fast, needed exactly 0 data (it was metered) and blocked some ads for me that weren't images.

The flash runtime was a closed source binary riddled with security vulnerabilities with a huge attack surface running with way too much privileges. I don't think it was sandboxed at all. It was a disaster waiting to happen.
