It's slow, takes up a lot of resources, crashes a lot, is very difficult to get ported to new devices, etc etc etc.

HTML5 is where it's at.
It takes up much less resources, it never has crashing problems, and it can produce games just as good as something you'd buy off of Steam (see From Dust, an HTML5 game from Ubisoft). Plus, it doesn't require a plugin.

Howso? Flash is designed for animating and video games.
HTML5 can produce the same results with much less resources.
As well as produce those results without being buggy at all and can, as I said, produce much better results. Such as games with high-end PC graphics running in your web browser.

Are you stupid?
WebGL allows GPU accelerated usage of physics and image processing and effects.

WebGL can produce games just as high-end as the games you buy on Steam.

And now, I was not referring to "video."
I was referring to mainly the HTML5 Canvas.
HTML5 Canvas + WebGL = Extreme power.

WebGL is just a library written in JavaScript.
It's just HTML5.

I've never seen Flash hog memory or become unresponsive.

No, I'm talking about WebGL and the HTML5 Canvas.
Please learn to Google.

Java should be abolished as well.

Everything Java does can be done without Java.
And Java, like Flash, requires a plugin.

There goes phones, some microwaves, some TVs, pay-booth things, and about 1000x other things.

You can't just say you are going to make a game in HTML and think you are also including JavaScript, for all we know, you could of done this in any other client-sided language.
