Well, not really, but we're getting closer!  Flash is a great technology, and like any great technology it has been abused and misused for quite some time.  That doesn't mean there isn't a good use case for flash.  There are several fantastic instances where flash really shines, but more often then not flash is over used in situations where plain text would have sufficed, not just for the end user's needs, but also for the customers needs.  In fact, more often than not, the customer is almost always better served by plain text than they are flash.
