Mostly a programmer, and not really. To be honest I would be much happier with better CSS capabilities (better syntax, variables) than video tags and whatnot. I'm not against it obviously, but probably won't be rushing out to learn all the new features.

The useful parts of HTML5 are the new JavaScript APIs (which arguably don't really belong). Unfortunately many important ones are missing, and of the ones which are present many are incomplete or broken.
Nope. It just bloats what we already have in xHTML 1.1. Sure, I can throw a header or section tag around a block, but I still have to use divs. It's just another level I need to indent at this point in time.
Programmer. It doesn't excite me in the least because, since I can't afford to alienate big chunks of my audience, it might have enough penetration to use in, oh, 3-5 years? Meh.
That's the main issue. The user base for it will be relatively small for several years. Hopefully many of the people on IE 6 will leapfrog to a HTML 5 browser in the next few years, that would solve a lot of issues.

Though I agree that canvas, audio and video tags, and web workers are great additions.

OK, so what about what the new elements do for CSS? Won't style sheets be more portable now that we have , , etc.?
