why are people saying HTML5 will kill flash?
Can it even do Vector graphics? Should I continue trying to learn ActionScript 3 are the languages similar? Why are the games I see for it so very bad, if this is all that HTML5 can produce then I can’t see how it could replace Flash.

Gizmodo has already explained, Flash isn’t going to die out because big companies like Adobe are doing everything they can to keep it afloat.
It’s also the only thing that supports DRM restrictions. HTML5 currently doesnt.
Most (but not all) flash is used to playback video. HTML5 will now allow you tot embed video directly using html tags as appose to embedding a flash player. I do not see flash going anywhere, but I would not be surprised if HTML5 takes over for internet video.

Flash is probably not going to die, but it is less and less used by any professional website developers, especially for anything commercial or of value. Flash seems to be reserved for gaming sites and games. It was a great idea to start with, but its implementation/integration is wrong.
A fad.
It is even not supported on many mobile units, nor on several MAC systems. Many doors are closing to Flash.
Personally, any site that uses any flash is written off as far as I am concerned. (and if YA continues to have its little ads in Flash, I’m going to leave. Fed up of it!)
