    And many more tools exist for HTML to build content sites. Not as many tools for what you call "interactive," otherwise known as difficult to interact with F-W-A style sites.

    Your assumption that Flash will run perfectly on all devices, while HTML5/WebGL will be inconsistent is just a fanboy dream. They'll both be a mess.

    Maybe Flash tech is better, will be developed faster, but very likely that its community will remain small. And it's more difficult to develop when the community is smaller, less libraries, blogs, etc.

    I doubt that Flash will be developed faster though, Google has traditional, financial motivations for pushing web capabilities forward. Same as MS IE had and it moved fast, until business objectives were met. Mozilla was some weird open source experiment with weird priorities. You're basing predictions of the future on a misunderstanding of history.
