Everything works with HTML, right out of the box, no faffing required. While it might look cool to present your portfolio or band site with animation and all of the ubersleekness that comes with Flash, visiting a site that requires loading times is a "fool me once" scenario for most people. Also, the web is more useful as an information access point, whether it be wikis, blogs or social networking, as opposed to an entertainment source. My $0.02 anyway.
