I know many here can't accept the truth that Flash had, has and will have its place on the Internet. There was a need for such a technology and there still is. I will be here for another 5-15 years or so, so we should make the best out of it instead of screaming 'DIE ALREADY'. But as always, there is plenty of room for improvements. :)
FYI: Adobe donated Flex to the ASF a while ago and the mailing list is already the most active on ASF. It is actively developed and people are quite motivated.
If it wasn't the security issue laden monstrosity that it is, I could see it living on.
But the facts are that the only real "secure" version is the PPAPI implementation in Chrome (which has it's own limitations), Adobe has dropped future development for embedded systems and that it is almost non-existent on mobile does not speak to the longevity that you predict.
Flex is cool, but it's dependency on Flash will be it's noose.
If anything. :)
