Well, this is just me - and the two-dozen or so people in my department - but we don't have flash (security rules prohibit us from downloading or installing anything from the internet). I've had to back out of sites that required flash for basic website use. Blank boxes, etc., because of lacking flash don't bother me, but not being able to use the site at all does.

That experience makes me wonder about accessibility. Would an ecommerce site have to have two different check-out systems - one flash-based and one not - in order to be accessible? In that case, I'd think most would opt for just the non-flash-based one. I'm wondering if possibly accessibility wasn't as much of a consideration "a good few years back" as it is now.
