You just mentioned a few, the even bigger problem seems to be sticking to just one ;-).IMO, HTML has evolved; look at all the spinoffs: DHTML, XML, SMIL, etc. The bigger problem is (lack of) standards.
No doubt we are moving that direction with HTML specs, etc, but it's interesting to note that free competition has worked to our disadvantage in this area: while each browser technology attempts to out-feature the other, developers are left having to create workarounds to make their pages accessible everywhere. The original promise of the Web (write once, read anywhere) has been grossly unfulfilled and even undermined by competition.
Exactly my point, competition is about money and power not quality.
Speaking as someone who has faced these issues for years, I am quite tired of dealing with them and am more than ready to embrace a technology that makes my life easier instead of harder, whether it's Javascript, Flash, or a MetaCard/Web implementation. You're probably be right that someone is making a buck somewhere, but IMO it's at the expense of those folks trying to build sites for a living. Me? Bitter? No... :-)
Alone? Hardly.;-)
