I choose to do my web application in flash for exactly same reasons that lead you to html and css. Its all interaction and not navigation. I actually think the mixing of content and interaction that web applications have become is incredibly powerful - I think the idea that we'll prefer desktop style buttons and widgets over text links is wrong, very very wrong. And I think that's where most of the reluctance for flash apps comes from but people don't recognise it. Also web pages progressively load by default and thats important. On a purely programming tip, actionscript 3 is a joy to program in. The flex components are good.
