  HTML5 is a great improvement but it will take years for full browser support, I'm all for HTML5 but you can't deny there are certains sites that at the moment just can't be done with HTML5, an example would be webcam enabled sites and heavy media (advertising).

  From a web developer point of view there are a lot of good things coming like web sockets, the end of cookies (or if not the end a real local storage that works like SQL), canvas, etc. But it will take time for browser support and good authoring tools to take advantage for example of the Canvas element and CSS3 animations, there are people working already on frameworks and stuff. It's safe to assume that Adobe is going to step in eventually and create some sort of IDE for using these new elements or some kind of Flash bridge between that.

    I'm talking about the canvas element, bitmap manipulation and animation– ernexbcn2/3
