If it helps killing Flash I'm fine with WebGL, HTML5-videotag (I hope google's
WebM will win) etc. However that shouldn't be used in serious (non
demo/showcase) websites until proper support is ready in all major browsers.

As a web developer you should be glad that IE5/6's days are over and browsers
are a more standard-conformant - or did you like writing a different version  of
your websites for each browser?
A friend of mine who does web programming complained about having to work around
IE6's anomalies a lot until he could finally stop supporting it, so I'm kind of
surprised that you and Nick seem to like these old versions of the IE.
