Dell, Coke, Nike, Microsoft, GM, Ford, VW, Toyota, Nissan, Adidas... I could go on, but I'll spare you. These are all companies that use Flash in their marketing efforts. Companies this big don't survive on "smoke and mirrors to cover up crappy products".
You and the rest of the slashdot crowd can do whatever you want to slag Flash to each other. The less "real" developers that are doing Flash, the more money I'm going to get paid to do develop sophisticated ads, eLearning courseware and Rich Internet Applications. Thanks Jim'll! Oh and make sure that you don't block all of the Flash you see with your plugins. Otherwise, you'll miss a preview of the kind of work that you and your dhtml buddies will be doing in three years (or whenever the W3C figures out vectors, audio and video).
