I can't believe this got modded up as interesting(...no wait yes I can sorry forgot where I was for a second)
I think you'll find that talentless unfunny people can make poorly designed and impossible to navigate websites using plain HTML. That's part of what makes them talentless and unfunny.
To damn a Tool because some people use it ineptly is like banning pencils because the guy across the street draws bad stick figure cartoons.
I would imagine you've never used flash in a developers capacity, or indeed have any comprehension the the world wide web is alot of things to a hell of a lot of people, and suprisingly they might have different needs to you.
As for "tip of an iceberg of security issues" please! An explosion of pop-ups is hardly a security issue (annoying as hell, but not a security problem) and guess what? The abilty to open a new window is a useful tool for developers, that's why it's implemented in a whole bunch of languages.
As for other security issues, flash is a hell of a lot more secure than java for example. Or would you have us all using lynx?
That's the thing with useful tools they can be used for lots of purposes some good some bad. And as web tools go flash is one of the best and most widely supported out there.
Would you want a T-rex on your boat? Have you not seen the movies?
But for those that want a balanced rational argument lets see what the chick tracts have to say about that high falutin' evolution
WARNING - may increase blood pressure
