the new html5 player works great, but you dont have the option for hd videos plus at random times you will still get the old or the new flashplayer and not the html5 one.

We don't need flash. We don't need closed flash, we don't need open flash, we don't need ANY flash. It doesn't DO ANYTHING USEFUL.
I think it would make a lot more sense for all of those developers wasting their time and effort on replicating this flash garbage to put their effort into building REPLACEMENTS for existing web flash content -- for free. They could actually contribute to CLEANSING the world of this TRASH rather than increasing the support for it and prolonging the agony.
Flash needs to be ELIMINATED.
Stop complaining and start doing something productive for the OS community if it is so dear to you.

Also YouTube had a pretty okay-ish HTML5-Option running earlier this year but it wasn't updated and doesn't work reliable anymore with the newest changes to YouTube, but who knows what they will announce tomorrow

Of course flash is still useful, it will probably still be useful even one html5 becomes ubiquitous. There already are alternatives - silverlight/moonlight and javafx to name two. But if a full functional free alternative flash plugin were created that would be fantastic.

Flash-free YouTube rocks.
