I have flash-heavy sites, but for the same reason I hate javascript-heavy sites:
* Silly animations are a bad idea in Powerpoint, a bad idea in Word, and a bad idea in web documents. Word seems to be the only place where most people avoid them though.
* Running a program in a web page breaks statelessness.
* Support for disabled readers will get lost.
I understand that gopher - just text and a list of links - is a little too minimalist. But the other extreme (setting up a GUI just to show a document) is worse.
