Nah, plasmas are not better. I don't know, it should be pretty obvious for anyone with two eyes who lives within driving distance to a mall. Take a look.
Older LCDs had a lot of problems: Washed out colors, digital artifacts etc. But newer ones have none of that. I just picked up a 32" Samsung with 7000:1 contrast and if anything it looked better than the plasmas they had in the store. Same contrast, same brightness, same vivid colors, 178 deg viewing angle (note: 180 is the max.) and much higher resolution.
At the rate LCDs are improving its clear that they will be better than plasmas in all areas next year or the year after so no wonder everyone's getting out of the plasma business. And it's too expensive to make 1080p plasmas so as soon as HD DVD/bluray/HDTV becomes wide-spread plasmas will be completely uninteresting.

Currently plasma has better color, viewing angle, contrast, black level, and response time. This has been quantified with side by side color corrected displays. Don't look at un adjusted TVs on a show floor and think that has anything to do with the quality of the display. At some point in the future LCD's might be better and at that time I'll buy one. But right now plasma is the best so that is what I watch now.
