I get what you're saying. However, I think this is partially off.

I would wager that most experienced Flash devs also know HTML-based technologies (and could get jobs doing so). On the other hand, I know that there are many HTML devs that don't know the first thing about Flash.

While I think it's true that HTML-centric devs oppose Flash in large part because they don't know how to use it, I think that most Flash devs oppose working with HTML because they have programmed in both.
