Canvas does bare-bones drawing all right, but it's nowhere near Flash in terms of being a featureful graphics engine for things like games. For instance, you can't really detect clicks on individual shapes, etc. Maybe I just need to wait for a good wrapper library to come about... as long as it performs well, that would work I suppose.
Canvas just isn't a good Flash replacement yet. It can replace some things that were done in flash, but not everything.
