> I would have thought that criticising HTML5 and providing valid reasoning means you think negatively about HTML5

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. Not offering criticism isn't supportive, it's religious. Being willfully blind to huge holes in necessary support won't make HTML5 better.

> The problem is, the author hasn't backed up anything.

It's not a research paper for a scientific discovery. It's an opinion on the state of HTML5. The OP doesn't need to back it up since proof of his points are rampantly apparent and readily available, cognitive dissonance excluded.

If you want HTML5 to get better, you should ask that it is better. Turning a blind eye is just foolish.

I have no idea how or why you've reached any of these conclusions; but in any case - good luck to you.

It might be slightly ironic that you've pointed out the OP's lack of proof, as it were, while you yourself have trouble upholding your own arguments.
