Remember back when HTML5 was little more than a fancy dream? It wasn't too long ago that the features of HTML5 seemed ridiculous and impossible, but here we are, in 2012, and HTML5 is the new standard. Web applications are becoming less and less "out there", and much more immersive, thanks to the features of HTML5. Perhaps next year the survey will be "What non-HTML5 platform do you use?", because otherwise, it's a no-brainer.

• HTML5: 86.9%

• Other: 4.7%

• Gears (formerly Google Gears): 3.1%

• JavaFX: 2.5%

• OpenLaszlo: 1.6%

• Mono Moonlight: .9%

• ZK Framework: .2%
