Well, it's a matter of time that people starts to change their thinking about Flash when they start to know the technology much better... A very inspirated post Chafic,

If they dont like it now they better pick up some tutorials and try to fit in, because Flash is just getting started still. Were coming and we wont stop!

They have a fear of the unknown or intimidated by Flash. Some of the work interesting UI work is done with Flash. In addition to the issues you mentioned above, some the most innovative Internet UI work has been built with Flash connected to a database using Flash Remoting. One of things I preach most often is that, "user-focused task completion can be achieved with incredible efficiencies using Flash RIA." I couldn’t agree more with this post.

I truely believe that the mark of a good programmer(which i enjoy working with everyday) is that they actually see their work in relation to the end user. My biggest issue with slashdot is that for all the intelligence of the community they can't get beyond there own personal sphere. There are posts in there that boil down to being annoyed that dreamweaver allows less experienced developers do advanced stuff and thus take work away from them-really welcome to the modern marketplace. Other posts are obsessed with the "open" thing-ooooooh that has really helped SVG. Others are irritated by the quality of the designs-blame the tool rather than the bad designer using it. Simply put these intelligent people are simply "thinking" dumb when it comes to this topic. My main arguement has always been: show me a workflow that outputs something that has all the capabilities of a flash app and not increase the hours it takes for me to get there. I haven't seen one.

Oh ho ho... the comment on SlashDot about hardware manafacturers using Flash for UI's, which apparently will mean that it would take 10 mins to change the contrast on your monitor! Time and a place people, Flash can't be beaten in certain markets, stop being put off by bad design and banner ads ;) Haha. It seems it's really only the "über-l33t" script kiddies that never got past Flash 101 shape tweening that put it down so. Very well said!!
