The HTML5 version wasn't initially well received, though a considerable amount of people gave support stances in the discussion messages (discussion + vote count as 2 votes).

So far, the new HTML5 version worked more efficiently than the flash version (I use an I3 processor and 4GB memory), but otherwise it is still the same as the mobile version. The developers are still working hard to give all the web and mobile-exclusive features to the HTML5 platform within the next few days; I noticed several missing features present in this initial live release.

In my expectation, the potential upsides and downsides are: Advantages
 * Good loading time
 * Efficiency and speed
 * Better scrolling and navigation
 * Unity between desktop and mobile mechanics (for some)

Disadvantages
 * Loss of web-exclusive features
 * Certain features missing
 * Practically same as mobile version, wanted to be a little different
 * A few may experience this platform to be slower due to browser and computer aspects

My overall verdict: : I would strongly prefer Flash to be here, but HTML5 is acceptable.
