IMO, not while there is so much of it out there. If I was to buy another tablet today it would very likely not be another iPad and lack of flash support is one of the main reasons. There is too much of it out there to refuse to support it and expect not to get up the noses of non committed apple buyers like me. It irritates me a little more every time I see a "Install flash player to see this content" message, and you certainly see plenty of them.
Fine for Apple not to support it themselves, but they should at least let developers support it as best they can rather than resolutely preventing that from happening. If and when HTML5 actually takes over then the need for flash support will die off with flash, but in the meantime IOS users have devices that obviously can support it (Youtube being flash based after all, unless they have changed that recently) castrated because "Steve Jobs said no"
Steve Jobs did not know my browsing preferences and I don't appreciate being dictated to by him on what they will be, posthumously or not, as to what content I should be able to view on a device I have paid plenty of money for which is essentially a device for consuming content with.
