I actually have a little bit of experience with flash, but only as a rough animation tool and not as a web program -- oddly enough. A lot of people are criticizing the "flash" look as too artificial or flat or what have you, but I had yet to find a 2-d animation tool that is this intuitive.

But, I haven't really been looking for one either.

Any thoughts? Is it foolish to use Flash for animatin' when there are better solutions out there?
