Aren't there enough objectively bad things about Flash to justify summarizing it as "evil"? It does so many bad things to a web site's accessibility, usability, download size, security, and performance that anybody with a genuine interest in making the web a better place should be encouraging migration to the open standards based alternatives. Now that HTML5 features are available, it seems that the only significant things Flash has going for it are a large install base and a decent authoring tool.
There's enough bad things about almost any good thing...
I use Flash (Flex, actually) for my company's website and it works very well for us. Blanket-labelling it as evil is just silly. Flash is no more evil than a hammer.
