You truly are missing the point of Flash forms, and I still think you're insulting a whole lot of people by implying that Flash forms are only useful to people who can't figure out Javascript. Give me a break! I'm interested in Flash forms because of the tremendous possibilities they offer, not because I don't know Javascript. Dismissing Flash forms as an easy way out of learning Javascript (or using pre-built libraries) is just downright silly. I also don't see why you pay the price of consistency and *especially* usability with Flash forms, but that's an argument for another day I suppose. Have you polled any of your users about Flash forms? The people at my company whom I've shown Flash forms to have all been universally floored by them from a usability standpoint, and these are non-technical people, which remember is going to be the vast majority of your user base in most cases. If it makes the life of the non-technical person easier and simplifies form entry processes, particularly complex of lengthy ones, then it's a good thing to have in the toolbox when you need it.
