I know, and that how flash started, we're here talking on what was the largest cesspool of horrible flash games, and 10+ years later the standards have gone up. But when I see a unity game on NG, I usually stay away from them. Not only is the entry bar lowered, but the front page-worthy bar is lower too. I'm still waiting for when people will stop upvoting anything 3D.
And don't get me wrong, I need to learn unity. If I'm gonna have a job in the future then I'm gonna learn unity, And I'll enjoy probably enjoy learning it.

a huge amount of people making flash games right now are using flashdevelop or haxe (or other tools), and skipping adobe's tools entirely. Adobe doesn't make money on flash as a platform (they tried to, and it was such a failure that they recently retracted those fees), they make money on flash the authoring tool. Now, they COULD spend time working on the authoring tool to make it better than the free alternatives, but they are adobe, and they will never do that.
This is a "chicken or the egg" scenario, flash has always had a large community, and Adobe never really seemed to care. Any adobe booth I've been to has shunned me instantly for bringing up flash. Now it seems like they are starting to actually care about the future of flash with mobile export settings and CreateJS mean's I might get away with never using Javascript.
Also, Unity has their own plugin for web right? So this really doesn't mean much, in fact it's a smart move to make their plugin used more.
