which is used to produce videos and games for many Internet sites

Nice way to marginalize a very powerful tool. HTML 5 has at least half a decade to go before it can even begin to catch on. HTML5 Does not work on all browsers yet. Even when standards are finalized, browsers still have to render that code. HTML5 is a language. If you don't know it, there's somewhat of a learning curve. The Flash output file .swf is used in MANY third-party output software development programs other than just Flash. The web and mobile markets are changing and we're seeing new technologies and methods arise. There is still a HUGE market for Flash.

Flash works for both programmers and designers. In my job, I use Flash to develop software simulations. There are few other tools that have the power to do this (it pretty much killed Authorware- what once was the industry standard for this.) HTML5 is a LONG way (if ever) capable of developing the type of interactions that can be done in Flash.
