If I let somebody else upload a program into my computer and run it, and ask me to trust them, I get uneasy. I also just don't like it. I can't spend as long looking at Flash-based things without wanting to get up and do something else. It's kind of like prints on glossy RC paper for me: I just don't like looking at glossy RC prints if I have the option of a fiber paper. (Yes, I know it's all inkjet now, but if you remember the RC vs fiber issue, I never liked RC and I don't like Flash for something of the same reasons). But it's the "trust me while this mysterious piece of software does things on your computer that you didn't ask for" that keeps me from Flash as much as I can.
