    HTML5 is BullS%#$t. It;s useless crap and almost every single blog, reviews or examples site touting its greatness is simply a paid advertisement. Like you say it has some big names behind it and they pay marketing firms to pollute blogs, reviews and forums with fake reviews. It's been done since 1995 with many products ( from nVidia - ATI wars, AMD - intel and so on ) and is being done all the time. They all do it, even flash review sites or front pages of big portals are often paid placements.

    Take it from somebody who told you 3 years ago that Unity will never amount to anything in the browser gaming arena and of course I was right. Same with html5. It's crap that is completely insignificant right now and will remain so for at least the next 2-3 years.

    Don't believe the hype. It's nothing more than paid advertising. Worry about your next game design and let the HTML5 hypesters choke on their own $hit.

    If you can churn out that functionality at a faster rate because it has been standerdized, that means a reduction in costs.
    Flash is more standardized than HTML5 and far easier to pull of just about anything with flash than jump through hoops to get even a fraction of what flash can do. It will change some day, but right now HTML5 is a mess unless you are doing very basic stuff and this being flashkit I assume we are not into basics like displaying an image gallery or some equally trivial nonsense ( even that is probably still better done with flash and more standardzied )
