The reason is that flash reneders the same in every browser , javascript can often render differently depending on your browser not too mention how much easier it is to recreate some of these works. Although it is impressive its more complex than if it were done in flash
The sad thing is, the flash-plugin for Linux currently uses said 100% for even a banner (At least, the version I am using right now does).If you download the flash object, it runs in VLC with 3-8% cpu.
I'll agree that it is sad, but unfortunately Linux is such a small majority that Adobe couldn't care less. I feel for you though, because they absolutely SHOULD build their software correctly... =/
N01SE,Better don't talk about facts that you don't know about. 1. Pixar DOES have programmers sitting in front of computers hand-coding animation routines. They do this since day one. They design their own animation engines to achieve effects/quality etc that standard software simply cannot provide. They recently have been bought by Disney though...2. Adobe just bought Macromedia who invented Flash. Actually they have bought too many companies the last few years. Does this make them a great company? Of course not. Great companies compete by creating value, not by buying the value of other companies.

you have the point but one minor correction!! Adobe did not build the Flash editor, Macromedia did.
