The anti-Flash crowd with their fantasy about how HTML5 &#62;= Flash are missing one phenomenally tragic detail ...<p>We're going to have HTML5 for the next <i>twenty years</i> - and right now it's only a <i>sometimes</i> substitute for Flash.  If you think HTML5 is going to meet your requirements for the next 20 or more years.. well, assuming you're pushing 30 like me we're actually going to be close to retirement age by the time HTML5 is fully replaced by it's successor.<p>Arguing Adobe should kill Flash for HTML5 is the same as arguing the W3 should kill HTML5 for HTML 2.0 - it's 15 years old, how's it stack up against your requirements today?<p>Technology has never stood still for the W3C and market penetration to catch up, and 'kill flash' is betting that this time it will ... silly.
