With the appropriate GStreamer plugins from RPM Fusion, several video and
audio stuff actually works. Not all though.
I agree about the poor compatibility, I'm not all that happy with it. Still,
it's the only Free Software Flash solution which works with Konqueror,
which is why I picked the Fedora package up when it got orphaned. (There's
swfdec, but that still doesn't have a Konqueror plugin and AFAIK their
Mozilla plugin doesn't work in Konqueror, though I haven't tried it in
4.2.)
But mostly I'd just recommend not to use Flash at all. I hate Flash ads. (At
I don't like flash ads, but try this for size:

even if you have to boot Windows to do it;-)
least with Gnash you can just right-click and "Quit Gnash" to get rid of
them.) What's annoying is that Firefox keeps prompting for plugin
installation every single time. Konqueror can be told to remember a "No"
answer. If all you need Flash for is YouTube, there are downloaders who can
download the videos so they can be played with a local media player such as
Kaffeine or Totem (given appropriate xine-lib or GStreamer plugins from RPM
Fusion).
There may be reasons to download stuff from youtube, but none of them is
convenience for those things you only want to see once.
