>I disagree completely. Then, frankly, you're not paying close enough attention. Video is only one part of why Flash is popular. One area that HTML5 isn't even close to replacing Flash is in webgames, and a big reason for that is something fundamental to HTML5: HTML5 behavior is at the mercy of the rendering and JavaScript engine the browser running it. Flash is the same everywhere. All these fancy HTML5 demos you see everywhere? They pretty much universally have "Runs Best on [Browser X]" somewhere on the page. We're partying like it's 1999 all over again. Like it our not, Flash is going to be around in the near-term regardless.
