Only because you don't understand the technology though. Flash doesn't
need to be fancy. Sometimes it can offer something small and more
efficient than HTML+CSS. While generally I'd agree that there are some
things you shouldn't really try have Flash do, completely writing it off
is terribly short sighted unless you are a secret Flash genius and know
without a doubt "it won't work". Flash is -so- powerful these days, you
can create practically anything in it (you could, for example, write
your own web browser INSIDE Flash if you wanted); I know as a Flash
person I'm not smart enough to say exactly where Flash's boundaries lay.
