Although chickenman neglected to post any arguments for his statement, he is correct:
Flash does suck.

Why?
flash breaks the browser's back button, many internet users heavily rely upon the back button for site navigation.

Users will be unable to adjust the font size, which may lead to problems on very large/small screens or for disabled users.

Disability features such as text-to-speech, braille ect, won't work anymore,

Already visited links won't change color, which will confuse your visitors.

Flash only works on Windows, Linux, and OSX, users of other OS's can;t view flash pages.

Flash is S.L.O.W. just like overuse of Javascript/AJAX flash can grind a computer down to a halt, don;t your visitors to have all the latest hardware, because many don't.
