This is a funny topic, you hear people saying things about html5 as a replacement for Flash. All I have ever seen are rudimentary games and video players. The shit isn't ready for prime time yet. I work for a newspaper company we have 30-40 web sites. stats say that less than 4% of users come from iOS. While over 20% come from IE6.
I made an infographic that was judged for an in-house competition in flash and some dick said "flash is so five years ago". Should I start making everything in html5 and alienate 20% of our users to appeal to 4% of users? That is retarded logic.
So many people want to be on the cutting edge of things when the tools are not even there yet.
