Not so much pro-Flash, as pro-correct-technology.

90% of the flash on the web sucks. It is a complete waste of time,
bandwidth, and space. Flash designers are just now starting to learn
the advantages of thinking before they just do something in Flash.

I completely agree with your assessment.

Flash Block is a great add-on for FF.

I don't think so. With broadband, video, multimedia, etc, becoming
more and more popular on the web, if Flash goes away, it will be
replaced with something equally (or more) obnoxious. I think Adobe is
moving in the right direction with Flash. Accessibility and
functionallity is improving with each new version. Add to that the
developers are starting to get a clue now and I think Flash has a long
welcome future on the web.
