It's incredibly trendy to beat up on Flash. How come whenever the conversation of Flash vs. JS+HTML5 comes up and we've all circulated our points of view, a sudden "dream world" emerges to save the argument? I tire of defending the present-day reality vs. the someday utopia that Flash-bashers seem to hold so dear. HTML5+JS is great, I love it. But no one who pays for content cares. We wouldn't even be discussing this if the opposite were true.
