The decision Adobe had taken to stop developing mobile Flash platform and boost the development of  HTML5-based technology has probably spoken the final word about HTML5′s becoming THE technology for an all-pervading user experience irrespective of device. While countless discussions and debates have taken place about how this would affect developers, the issue of user-experience has somehow been overlooked.

Will all users be benefited from HTML5? The answer is Yes, if a developer and Flash designer does what he is supposed to do.

Drawing a comparison between Flash design and HTML5 seems bizarre because these two are so different from each other. While Flash is created and updated by a company, HTML5 is open-source and it has gone through a number of developments in the open-source platform. Here, we will try to discuss some differences between Flash and HTML5 and try to understand how HTML5 can fill up the gaps that Flash can’t.

Flash always wants browsers to have the latest plug-ins. Otherwise it will not work. It offers a rather desktop-oriented layout and typeface, no matter what device you are using. Which is why, your experience with Flash never changes, though it had the chance to improve. It had years.

HTML5, on the contrary, offers a distinct user-experience on different devices. No matter which browser you use, you will have the best possible user-experience for that browser. Plus, more than 90% of tablet and mobile devices support HTML 5. That means, the advantages of HTML5 can be used for providing seamless user-experience on mobile websites.

Building a responsive website based on HTML5 is less expensive, takes less time and offers more accessibility than building various mobile apps. This is why, creating responsive websites based on HTML 5 is becoming more popular everyday.

The good thing about working with HTML5 is – you can start in a small-scale and go to the stage of complicated designs gradually. Creating an HTML5 site or upgrading to an HTML5 site is so simple (you just need to use the doctype of HTML). If you can understand the potential of HTML 5 and CSS3, you can create brilliant user-experience.

In spite of all the criticism about HTML5′s inability to be ready to be used by mainstream users, particularly when 3D or other high-quality animation is concerned, creating a pleasant user-experience is possible with HTML5.

Last but not the least, it’s a delight to see the amount of efforts the community members of HTML put in in everyday. You will come across countless demos at all times.

So yes, seamless video streaming, offline web browsing and animation that can be accessed from all over the world will be possible in the very near future on a browser and device of any given user’s choice.
