The big issue is mobile. Adobe doesn't offer an implementation for any mobile platform anymore. On mobile it's basically Shumway or nothing, and it's not hard to beat nothing.

Actually I have been trialling nothing for about a year now, and on balance find it to be my preferred swf player. The only feature I really miss is an h264 decoder, which sometimes tempts me to use other browsers. So while I thoroughly approve of Shumway, I can't bring myself to install it and thereby lose my nothing.

Mozilla is working on getting h264 decoding to work by using the hardware or software decoders already present on systems. AFAIK, that's even implemented in some of the latest Firefox for Android versions.
Using that together with Shumway will hopefully enable even a number of video sites to work that do not (yet) serve HTML5 video.

I find that gives all the benefits of "nothing", while still allowing you to access the occasional piece of content you still can't access any other way.
