What most people think about is the possibility of video without requiring a Flash plugin, but that's only one aspect of it. Note that the spec is still under development, and has not been finalized.

You can see what's there so far here: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html

All the more impressive considering HTML was never meant to do anything like what it does now.

I see one concern in general: Flash might be a pain, but it's separate, and can be turned off/blocked. If an entire page is rendered in HTML5, it'll require some major browser rewriting to block all those annoying flashing images at badly-done sites (or, for that matter, anything coded with malicious intent).
