If everyone (surfers too) had 512k DSL, sure, it would be fine. But flash is in primitive stages. Not only is it very slow, but it's very unresponsive. But you asked about "The Future"- Well no one knows the future. But yes, Flash has potential. It also has potential to be annoying, believe it or not.
What're you talking about it's very slow??? Yeah, it's very slow if a moron flash designer created it, otherwise the file sizes can be identical with the same design in php/html...If the designer knows what he/she is doing, the rest of the animation (the purpose of putting it in flash) won't even be barely noticable when comparing to a standard html design.

www.roadrunner.com is a prime example of a very effective full scaled flash design. it's very apparent that in this version, they were able to accomplish a lot that wouldn't otherwise be capable in a standard design.
