While Flash has it technical faults, the main problem with flash is
it's user-base. It seems to be used primarily in two situations:
1) When you're trying to hide the fact that the site content
completely sucks.
2) When you're too incompetent to do a good interface design.
Perhaps if Flash weren't around, it's user-base would find some other
equivalent way to blight their audince, but Flash is just so _good_ at
it.
