“The World is Moving to HTML 5″ and Other Flights of Fancy.

A bit of a techie article but really hits the major points of this debate in the most clear and concise way I’ve read yet! It comes from someone who has no real stake in seeing Flash stick around. Found this in a response to a Mashable article titled “Apple Didn’t Kill Flash, HTML 5 did.” Horrible title. Flash is NOT dead… But that’s neither here nor there..

To me the weirdest thing I see everyone talking and raving about is HTML 5. Sure, it most likely will be a great thing…but it’s far from being a standard and lest everyone forget there are all the browser & OS discrepancies, and the fact that there are hundreds of tools for hundreds of different uses and applications…

Best bit from this article:

The world will move to HTML X when Flash X is not needed, it is a non-argument, no amount of insane zealous preaching from within the idealist world of either side will make this happen in the real world. The market will use whatever tools provide the best solutions for the best return on investment.
