Actually, I think the developer tools and the spec and scope of what can be done with as3/flex/ etc.. has just got away from the middle part of the bell curve of what developers are capable of..
I've invested a good deal of time in as3, yet would not say that its something I would knowingly offer a client with all it's bells and whistles, as Im not there yet.. Conversely, I can code and design with as2.0 with my eyes shut, but have honestly cooled off from the initial flurry of sites that I did backalong, because expectations have tempered..There are number of things I continue to look to Flash to do primarily - I find it just as easy to retrieve and display data from server-side scripts in a quick little as2 box, as to css them up..
And typographically, I cant think of many other easier way to show dynamic content in a Hoefler font other than using Flash..
Many great high profile sites still use Flash to great effect, I for one see less of it, because my surfing habits have changed.
