At the JavaOne bookstore I got my hands on a book by Elliotte Rusty Harold about HTML refactorings. As I was skipping through contents I noticed the following refactoring:
Replace Flash with HTML: Convert Flash sites to HTML. Provide pure- HTML alternatives for Flash content.
… and it followed:
Flash is extremely inaccessible. I most cases a Flash site might as well be a black box to blind users, and is often hostile to color-blind, deaf and motion impaired users as well…
It is not a secret that I have a bias opinion when it comes to Flash/Flex and I’m happy that there other people also that are immune to this hype.
Of course the lift of the restrictions regarding the SFW/FLV spec was a very positive think on behalf of Adobe and I hope they keep it up!

I hope my competitors go the flex and flash route.
They’ll disappear from the search engines so I’ll win the SEO war without a fight It’s a perfect suicide weapon for clueless large corporations and nonprofits.
I agree 100% with you. Flash is the worst thing in the web when it comes to usability. I hope they will stop using it to display written information. On the other hand they get punished by Google when they use Flash, although I am a sinner giving consultations on how to do SEO “friendly” flash implementations…
