I've always been curious if the Flash animation studio really had anything to offer in terms of usability over, say, modern HTML5 in WebStorm or Visual Studio.

Absolutely, without question. Timeline-based visual animation tools and shape tweening were amazing, even back in 1999-2001. Friends and I used Flash to render animations to video, too.
I've yet to see anything else like it.

I learned this during a brief internship with a non profit that made educational videos. Edit: yeah, googled around and remembered another one. RETAS came out in Japan in 1993, and is largely responsible for the uptick in quality of anime around that time.
