Specialized applications such as google analitics, yes, use flash or whatever means necessary to get the job done. You are more or less is control. “Get the plugin or else find a different solution”. For the the rest stick with xhtml and server site solutions.

63 RE: Unneccessary Use of Flash
There is no such thing as “unnecessary use of flash”. Flash is not against everything the internet was intended for. It is a front end tool that allows for more dynamic presentation of materials from the simple and flashy (movie websites) to advanced portals (read: www.rr.com/flash).
I would think in 2007 we had gotten passed this anti-Flash debate. It’s so obviously skewed by a bias against the “hype”, “style” and “flash” (pun intended) that the application brings.

64 Semantic XHTML content in Flash
Just wanted to throw my hat in the ring.
Leaving along the issues of when/whether to use Flash, here is how we have been approaching the challenges of semantic static content powering a richer interface – http://www.jamesv.org/2007/04/22/semantic-xhtml-for-flash/
From time to time on client projects we have encountered technology limitations that have constrained us from utilizing a server-side solution. Systems like this have been lifesavers in crunches of that sort.
