I'm glad you finally caught up with XML! I told you it was fab :)
Personally I do NOT think Flash is the answer to everything; while 99%
of my work is now Flash based, that's for very specific projects,
clients and markets. Flash would truly be "the future" if you could
successfully replace, say, google.com with it and not loose any
functionality. Sadly, Flash just isn't that sort of platform (yet!).
The future is not about any one technology; it's about the application
of complimentary technologies, a mix and match of what best addresses
your needs, whether that is Flash+XML/Flex or DHTML+AJAX or WFP+VBS...
it doesn't really matter.

Adobe are moving in the right direction with the opening up of the
development platforms (specifically Flex, which is just amazing), but a
lot more needs to be done. It's not *truly* open, and it's not truly
cross platform.
