Macromedia giving away Flex
Flex is part of a wide-ranging effort by Macromedia to expand the use of its Flash format, once mainly associated with blinking banner ads, and make it a broad foundation for delivering Web services and media.

- I kind of agree. I have seen very few sites done with Flash that really needed it. It seems that the creators of most Flash sites do it for the wow factor and for bragging rights and not because Flash let them do something that couldn't have been done better, faster and easier without it.

Say No To Flash!
Though I have seen some good uses for it. Mostly for animations and even evil ads which I think are much beter (smaller, faster and nicer) than non Flash versions.
Overall, I think Flash is way over used and not for good effect either.
