This is spot on hands down, I too developed in flash in the zero years and it was complex enough, great animation, better than Javascript, and you could do communicate with the browsers, connect to a rest server. I worked on a small team and built the e-learning CD for the Biology Audesirk book by Prentice Hall. If you have every played Behemoth's games like Castle Crashers or Alien Hominid the graphics were made in Flash (in fact Alien Hominid started as a game from their portal newgrounds.com, written in flash). I think it really helped a lot of graphics designers and developers created many cool things. And I do think Flutter + Dart are the new Flash replacement or the closest to it.
