Designers love Flash because it gives you a canvas to express yourself on.
Standards do not. If you think it does, I would predict you aren't a designer, because there's a big difference between technical parity and realistic results.
I can concede that as a designer, I really don't care if HTML is technically better for some reason, I just want to have the freedom to do cool stuff, and that this is the tension between those are "Flash fanboys" and those who are Standards fanboys.
