As much as I'd like to see HTML5 pushed for interactive content, it's not there yet. I can tell whenever Youtube gives me the HTML player because everything breaks. Apple's webplayer is even worse. I think the only good experience I've had with an HTML5 video player is on The Verge, and half the comments complain about it so it probably just works well on Chrome.

I think Flash still has a place in the current web, while we work on getting HTML up to snuff.

Funny you should mention it. While we're talking anecdotes, youtube's flash player is more likely to crash my browser than the html one.
