Ugh. I hate this fallacy of composition. I think you know what he means, but it is easy to be the teacher's pet with a shiny apple of misinformation. Making complex animations (not a sliding nav, for example) is not easy in HTML5+JS. Sorry, it isn't. We can have this argument forever, have yet to see someone produce the evidence of their accusations. Flash IDE, with all of it's flaws, trumps any "HTML editor" for animation or UX complexity. Sorry, that's just the way it is. No "Visual jQuery" exists.

Making complex animations are not easy in Flash either. Unless Flash can draw thing for you, can it? As for basic tweening, you do not need HTML and JS for that. Now you can have CSS transforms, transitions and animation. Those are extremely easy to use and while they are not enough for really complex stuff they can and will replace most of the basic effect flash has been overused for.

  It's extremely clear that you have not developed in Flash. Flash isn't an extension of the CSI interface, so no, it doesn't do anything "for you". Please, don't wax your "knowledge" as fact. You know exactly what I mean. I do agree that Flash is used when it is not necessary. However, on the flip of the same token there are those who would have you believe that you should use JS when Flash is a clearly better choice.

    "teacher's pet with shiny apple of misinformation", "wax your knowledge", "flip side of the same token"... I think you have exceeded your daily quota of metaphormixing.
