Most of the time I actually think webpages with flash looks not so professional and are really annoying. First I have to wait for the flash to load, and I'm not even on a slow connection. Second, many people uses really cliche and ugly/lame flash animations, or simply annoying music that you can hardly find a place to turn off. Flash navigation is more annoying since you can't choose whether you want the link in a new window and such. I think all flash sites should have a HTML/plain alternative. And I think Flash is only mostly effective on MOVIE sites, or sites that focuses on looks of something (like cellphone advertisement, etc.).

What's your opinion? I find a lot of people loves flash these days...
