    Oops, my post got cut off....I think a funny point he misses is how the whole AJAX/Web2.0 trend tries very hard to mimic one of the finer points of flash, which is seamless content updates....no need to re-render a whole new page.

    And of course he focuses on the "flaws" that have straightforward "fixes" if you can even call them that.

    Yes, you can select text in flash.
    Yes, you can use the backbutton and bookmark specific pages.
    Yes, you can make flash sites readable by Search engines.

    "Third, and most time consuming. Whatever you do, no matter how hard you try, Flash will never have a content management system. "

    LOL. Guess what? HTML won't ever either. That's why you have to use PHP or .Net to add on a backend.
