I'm curious, but how does flash detract from the browsing experience/ or how would html5 add to the browsing experience?

To me it just seems like choosing one programming language over another...

The Flash is buggy; when I mouse over the items, the little label doesn't "unfold" until about 10 seconds after I move my mouse out of the photo. I can see what it's trying to do -- it unfolds for an excruciating split second -- but I can't interact with the movie.

HTML works on more devices, requires fewer resources for an application like this, and usually works more reliably in my recent experience. Why use Flash for this interface?
