I respectfully disagree. Maybe it is our clients, but they still want interactive (visually based) that HTML5 still cannot do. Refinement, attention to detail, etc., etc., just aren't there yet.
Sure, for generic text based sites (a la the vast majority of boring, Word Press-ish sites), HTML5 is just fine, even an improvement over what we saw a few years ago.
But for other sites, there is just nothing that is as compatible and reliable.
So yeah, it is the 'developers and designers' that are not happy, but that's because there is nothing (certainly not with reasonable budgets) that can replace what we were doing 5+ years ago.
You can say Apple didn't kill it, but it was the nail in the coffin. The moment a client says "I want something like we made last year, but that works an iPhone" that makes it pretty clear (to me).
[there was tons of crap before, for sure, but there were also great sites. Just like now, with most of the web being template-ish WordPress, or similar...which is worse is subject]
- there are fine examples out there, but it is still only beginning to get back to where we were many years agoformed
