Javascript interfaces usually have much better usability than Flash ones used to have.

That is because following the standard semantics of the Web in Javascript is easier than breaking it, while for Flash it was the other way around. Of course that does not mean that every JS powered page is good, or that every Flash powered one was bad, and ironically it does mean that the more JS, the worse it tends to be, but the more Flash, the better it used to be.

Yet that doesn't prevent people from breaking it all the time.
