From a desktop perspective, video streaming is still a marginally more pleasant experience in Flash than in HTML5 equivalents (random position seeking, full screen controls, quality, etc). It may full well be an individual site's deficient/immature HTML5 implementations, I've never been curious enough to investigate in-depth, but I also have yet to experience a better experience in HTML5 that would create an incentive to seek out those implementations over a Flash version if Flash is presented as the default choice. Flash file uploaders also tend to be more mature and a little smoother to use in general. I'm sure HTML5 will surpass it soon enough, but at present, it's a use of Flash that I don't mind. Additionally, I somewhat dread the day when annoying and/or malicious advertising makes the switch. At present, blocking Flash is a stupid simple task, a standards based annoyance has the potential to be much harder to avoid.
