I've received several suggestions that Flash is the worst thing to happen to Web design in the 2000s. But is it really "boring bloatware" or "a waste of time" (the splash pages, that is), or is Flash just "over hyped"?

tnfan62 says no. He says:

Flash is fine, when used moderately. Too many web sites designers view it as a way to "glitz" up their web sites, and instead, it is more of a hindrance than a help.... More and more, Flash is being manipulated for malicious codes, such as malware.

What do you think? Is Flash the worst thing ever? Or is there something worse for Web design that came out of the 2000s?
