Except for the fact that HTML 5 apps look like shit compared to flash, the run like shit, they can be freely stolen by anyone - and generally they rely on lots of browser and CSS hacks to be pseudo consistent. Html5 really sucks - its just a shame the world has decided Flash must no longer be

As a Flex programmer, the Flash equivalent to Canvas is moot… I do not use Flash Pro…therefore I hardly care about Canvas. I barely know what SVG is… I like the WSIWYG aspects of Flash Builder… MXML… and Action Script… a happy and clean Java-like programming environment. DreamWeaver, HTML
