Personally I hate flash (but I also hate Facebook, MySpace, Tweeter etc. 
so maybe I'm just freak) for me it is pointless and waist of time.
When Macromedia start with flash I think that they wont something like 
SVG, vector based image on web and that will be ok.

Then come web designers who think that will be sexy make bloated flash 
sites with bloated raster images inside, flash banners and that destroy 
originally idea.

Let see youtube.com for example. Lousy quality, you can't reed letters...
Wouldn't be better html5+ogg or to give people possibility to download 
ogg, avi...?

"Others may complain of system or security issues, but I've never 
experienced them."
Maybe he did but he is just not aver of them :-)
