I too tend not to use Flash-only web sites. They're annoying (especially if you wanted to copy some text from one) and although they can look impressive, the load times can be quite long.
I don't mind some small usage of Flash though, live a nav menu or a site logo. Also, all the Flash cartoons that people make (think
www.weebls-stuff.co.uk) can be excellent, but the site is HTML based.
