Is HTML5 better than Flash?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There are strengths weaknesses to both.
HTML5 Strengths:
Doesn't need plug-ins
Natively supported by most current browsers
Free and open development.
Flash Strengths:
Extensive development community.
More available features (at least for now)
Extensive support from a company with "big pockets"
Flash Weaknesses:
Frosty relations with Apple
Higher costs for developers
Some people really don't like plugins
HTML5 Weaknesses:
Newer and relatively untested.
A standard not directly backed up by a major company (possibly a weakness/strength)
Tools for development not as advanced as that of Flash
Not as feature rich as Flash (yet)
So which is better?
It's difficult to say depending on the situation, but for most of my current projects,
HTML5 is the better choice, mainly due to lower cost of development and the "Apple Factor".
Note: All answers above are based on personal opinion and experience and
may not reflect the opinions of the greater Mahalo community and probably do not cover
all issues related to this debate ; )
