For a smallish subset of use cases, maybe. But replacing the DOM with a canvas-based UI for general use would be reinventing many of the problems of Flash.

Many designers and game devs see it otherwise.

Gamedev is a separate topic. As for designers, they are on the opposite side from users in the tug-of-war of control over content rendering. I don't believe they should get 100% of their way.

Gamedev falls squarely into my "smallish subset of use cases". It does legitimately need non-DOM UI, but it's not a huge part of the Web (yet).

As for designers, thank you for finding a much more diplomatic phrasing than the one I was about to write.
