Like AJAX?  Which is a bitch to debug and work perfectly across the 
board,  not to mention bitchingly slow.  Flash for all its other 
problems, is very easy to pump db driven data into.

To more points about flash, 1) it is mainly used by "creative" types, 
who prefer drawing to coding and 2) it is used by ~98% of internet 
browsers.

Yes, there probably shouldn't be a monopoly and somebody should develop 
an alternative.  But it has to be a viable one.
