YES. The web needs to be data made with open standards, and my user agent of choice shall have complete control of what happens to that data once it gets to my device. Browser-specific code makes a mess, but still does not violate that philosophy. Java previously straddled the line between open/closed control, but erred towards developers and end users. Flash stomps on the idea of end user choice, and then has Adobe-ness on top of that, making it all horribly fail the end user. Fittingly, that makes it fail Apple, who sells by making things easy for average-to-above-average humans.

Even Apple's evil sometimes makes for good.
