Well, the "web site" as we once knew them is a rather blurry term when you think about. We felt around in the dark, wasted a lot of time and filled the web with a lot of nonsense. Though we learned a lot and grown to appreciate the "web app". Our sites became tools and now they do stuff and people get stuff done. This is a good outcome but arguably, when using an app there isn't a lot to gain in terms of user experience from a bunch of poppy zip zappy. One of the greatest quotes ever said to developers was "People don't want to use your app, they want to have used your app." Meaning the result was what they are after and we have to understand that we are for the most part standing in their way. That is not to suggest flash can't do apps better. I fully believe it can and we just need some one defying the trends just like we did with intros and preloaders to show us how. I still stand by my analogy that the internet is a woman. She's an emotional teenager right now who's always on the phone but not yet old enough to drive. Hopefully in her twenties she'll come to her senses.
