yabut.

This is a bit like the argument "guns don't kill people, people kill
people".

Or radar detectors don't make people speed, they still have that
choice.

In this case, "flash doesn't make poorly coded, inappropriate
interfaces, people do".

I know Flash/the gun/the radar detector didn't have a mind of it's own
and didn't draw the dancing balony/pull the trigger/push the
accelerator, but they all sure feel like enabling technologies to me. 

In the case of Flash, it enables people who know absolutely nothing
about human factors and user interface design, and who haven't taken
the time to even attempt to learn any, to build (awful) working
interfaces quickly.

Call me a Luddite, but enabling people to turn crap out quickly does
not seem like a step forward to me.
