All the clients that are specifically deciding to pursue HTML apps instead of Flex apps would beg to differ (and ask any Flex consulting shop and they'll tell you there are *many* clients like this right now). The current feasibility of the competition is not the issue. The issue is the trajectory and velocity of the competition (where JS is winning by leaps and bounds), and the PR battle (where "HTML5" is wiping the floor with Flash). But I'll stop further diatribes, no point in arguing about whether Flex is on solid ground or doomed for failure, we'll probably just go back and forth, so I'll be quiet and get back to work :)
