This is incredibly false and shortsighted. In the HTML/JS world an INCREDIBLE amount changed in 2012. There was a huge amount of momentum around microarchitecture frameworks, Backbone, KnockoutJS, AngularJS, BatmanJS, and on and on. Frameworks that also include many UI component pieces, such as jQuery, the recently updated Twitter Bootstrap, Sencha's' ExtJS, etc. Coffeescript surged in popularity, which addresses many of the "JS sucks" arguments that Flash devs often have. NodeJS kept chugging along, becoming an actual option for a production server written in JS (and of course you can also write your server code with Coffeescript on top of Node). JetBrains WebStorm now offers a solid JavaScript IDE. Areas that have traditionally been dominated by Flash, like data visualization, are being challenged by powerful JS libraries like D3.js (for charting and data-viz), and polymaps (for geographic mapping), and WebGL content has made impressive advances with libraries like Three.JS. Saying nothing changed means you haven't been paying attention. HTML/JS is changing faster than almost any other technology stack out there at the moment. It has more momentum and developer interest than almost any other technology stack. DO NOT write it off as being inferior.
