The fact is, there is a balance to be had between useability, design and SEO that benefits all. Sites can still look good and be well optimised.

We have had to advice several clients to have their websites completely redone due to development in flash. I agree flash looks great but is as good as useless for search engine indexing we are qualified seo consultants and run into this problem from a large proportion of new clients.

As a web designer I see the scenario you've outlined many times and agree with your point of view. I think web designers and web design firms have a responsibility to be upfront about the impact their medium and technology decisions will have on the goals of a site. I have clients ask for flash sites all of the time. Only after we've discussed the potential downfalls and advantages of the medium is a final decision made. Great post!
