Flash will be the superior technology for building RIAs for several more years. Also Flex apps are well entrenched in many corporate infrastructures and they will not be able to migrate anywhere anytime soon.

If you had read the archives, you would have seen that this was already discussed and there will be a serious amount of energy invested in exploring HTML5 support for Flex.
