Your perception of what Flash can do is very limited.
Case in point: almost all publishers use Adobe InDesign to create their publications, which thus translates really well into multimedia magazines (such as the Wired demo).
Flash is also the core platform for RIAs wherein companies and services can provide rich media interfaces. Inasmuch as HTML/JS is popular on HNews, designers still use Adobe products almost exclusively, so Flash-based RIAs are going to be the most interesting to experience (and easiest to publish).

- tvon 17y agoIt's not as if "advantages of Flash" comments never get up-voted, or as if "why you should use HTML5 instead" comments never get down-voted. Besides, a -1 is hardly worth complaining about. It's not like this is one of those sites where drive-by down-voters will keep showing up for weeks after the discussion has ended, voting you into the basement.
