I dont need all those flashy things other than video or games 2. It eat up my CPU and memory (I'm on ubuntu, and yeah, blame it on Linux or Ubuntu or Adobe or Flash itself or whatever it is) 3. It takes forever to load (and when it loads, it just some fancy graphic, not the real information... and hey, look at all those banners...) 4. HTML 5 is comming (refer to no. 1) I don’t like flash because :

And oh yeah to that other guy, make sure your portfolio works at all. This is why I hate wannabees who bitch about hating flash when all they have in their portfolios are crappy pieces of work.

Look, it doesn't matter what you are looking at, yer gonna get idiots doing it in any medium. That doesn't mean Flash is dead. I agree that a good healthy mix is perfect but Flash ain't dead and people have been saying Flash is dead for years. What a load of bunk!

Every other use of flash is abuse. A website is there to give information to people. when the people cannot use the things theyve grown accustomed too >back button, refresh button, right click of the mouse, you have completely tuned them off of the site and quite possibly your product. If you do not allow them to gather information, what good is having a website? No adult wants to sit through minute long page loads because you think we want to see all the fantastic dynamic animations. Any site that has flash, is not a site worth visiting. We want information Flash has its place… gaming. Every other use of flash is abuse.

I hear and agree completely. Especially the point about using it "in moderation to fill in gaps with some pretty dynamic animation or in the form of a video/media player"... although why do so many of even these more sensible applications of Flash forget the most vital component: an <i>off</i> switch?
