    Remember when standards came in and to some extent all JS/dhtml was banned, because of "what if the user doesn't have JS turned on?".
    I saw this as a step back in the history of web then, especially that I never saw a modern browser with JS turned off.

    Well, it bounced back with huge impact when dhtml was renamed ajax and suddenly JS is good again.
    Flash is still bad, so I guess we can expect an explosion of stunning flash sites in about a year or so, just with better flash/nonflash switchability.

    As far as I know, mozilla peeps are working on kicking flash out with JS-DOM/CSS/XHTML/SVG combo (plus sound control standard which name I forgot)
    AFAIR Firefox 2.0 will ship with SVG built in, it might eventually get interesting.
