IMO Flash is a classic example of appearance over function.

Fine, so you can do lots of "flashy"(!) graphics and spinning text and bits and pieces whizzing all over the place, but can you actually *use* the damn thing??

Can you open a link in a new window? Hell no.

Can you browse it with text only? Very probably not.

Can you browse it if you don't have a high speed broadband connection? Sure, if you want to wait ten minutes for a page...

Flash does have its uses, but to write the main site in it is just stupid.
