Yes, I'd say big usability issues. I get frustrated every time I use it, to the point where I just stopped.
For example, to do a blog post, you press "new post". This opens a window with a kind of stage. But you can't type there or anything else. You have to then use another menu to "add text". This open another window where you type your text and set the font size. This then gets added to the stage as an object you can move around. To change that text, you have to go to another menu, and cascade down through: page text / editing options / edit this comment. This opens up your text in the other editing window again. Ugh. It's painful. That's why I say if this is put forward as an example of an all-flash site, it will do more harm than good.

Just to add another 'vote' for Wallop. Design wise it is fantastic, especially if you compare it to MySpace. I haven't looked at it in a while, but last I checked there were still some usability issues. Hopefully they get enough features built before releasing it into the wild. With the addition of the Mod it has a lot of potential to be customized also.
