    Well you can see the future over the next few years.. everyone will be making scrolling sites with paralaxing effect we've used in Flash like 5-10 years ago.. Since this is the hottest thing since sliced bread you have every single one developer now using that as some kind of hot shit.

    On top of that, the whole argument about preloaders and Flash is now being proven is happening all over Jquery/HTML5/CSS3 based sites.. you can see more and more preloaders.. only this time most of the sites like this run like shit on mobile devices (even worse than Flash) and you need to spend 4 times the time to make sure you are using all kinds of frameworks and patches so they have some kind of fallback for all browsers..

    Not to mention there's absolutley no way to do real cool 3D stuff you can od in Flash but to try to use some patched up JS 3d framework that looks like crap or use WebGL which A) still doesn't have hardwar accelerated canvas 3D implementation B) is not even officially a part of HTML5 so implementation across browsers will vary significantly C) looks like shit and no anti-aliasing or anything of sorts and D) writing code for it is like somebody probing your anal hole.

    But all this is happening for several reasons I believe.. The oversimplification of the web and apps by Apple who has incredibly powerful PR/marketing machinery and fanbase who is just like a horde of zombies repeating what Steve Jobs wants. The notion that every site should just be like a news site with Wordpress type structure (aka that's why HTML5 introduces tags just for that) and someone smart today, I read, said "Web 3.0 will be about data"..

    So, when you patch all of these things together.. you realize that the reason why these things are getting somewhat traction is because it's a world where developers who have been coding some monkey JS, back-end and similar now don't have to deal with designers and can just use templated system to finish their jobs easier and not give a fuck.. They are by force a completely un-creative people.. they don't understand brand and for most, coding in notepad is totally acceptable and pinnacle of the design is a JQuery slider.
