I don't agree with 99.9%, but the majority of Flash sites are done
poorly.  Mine is certainly sub-optimal, :)

1. Loss of back button
Isn't this really a myth?  A page with a time dimension, be it Flash,
HTML/JS or whatever, breaks the back button.  A page without a time
dimension doesn't break the back button.  Should we now and forever
more give up the time dimension to avoid breaking the back button.
Perhaps for non-text sites, the back button is an anachronism?

Fonts are problematic in Flash, this is a weakness of Flash.  Scaling
Fonts is even more problematic, but, fonts are an issue in any precise
design on the web.

I wouldn't argue Flash is better for text sites at the moment, due to
Search Engine shortcomings.

As for the blind issue,that makes no sense to me.  Is the suggestion
that we should give up using images in web sites since some people
can't see them.  Might as well throw out the use of the img tag while
we are at it?
