Because, as hard as Flash may be, equivalent DHTML may be much harder - or not possible at all. Try writing a cross-browser drag-and-drop DHTML interface, for example. > ... it certainly stops everything I am doing until Flash gets > it act moving... which can be a pain in the hind when I am > just browsing a site looking for relevant content.... I think that's a good differentiation you make - Flash isn't really suitable for content. HTML is better for that. Flash, on the other hand, is better for applications in many ways. So, no, Flash isn't an ideal replacement for HTML. They are suitable for different things. But there's no way that you can argue that HTML makes a good application interface. It doesn't. It's a giant step backwards, really, for application interfaces - maybe as good as the best interface functionality of the early 1980s, let's say. Yecch.
