    I'm sooo tired of people saying "Make a list of Flash sites you can live without". Flash is for multimedia, it can also do a lot of other things, like make sites, have dynamic content....and its great for marketing and advertising.

    Marketing and advertising is BIG business just in case you didn't know.

    How about this. Name a marketing or advertising site you can't live without. Most likely there isn't none! Because those "sites you can't live without" are typically informational sites. Sites that you go to to get information. Unless you have a closed mind, the web has more uses than just informational sites. Wait until it becomes common for you to access the internet through your TV! Marketing and advertising on the internet will be even crazier than it is now.

    Let's be honest, CSS and jQuery can't do half of the animated effects Flash can do. You can't even do the simplest of animations with those. They're not anywhere NEAR as multimedia capable as Flash is. And until an IDE comes out that will produce vector animations, Flash will always be here. Even then, they'll be years or even decades behind Flash.

    I'm finding that the people who are knocking Flash, are those folks who never bothered to learn it and were stuck in the back of the room for the past 10 years and am just looking for a reason to dislike it.
