There's two types of web user...
Written by: onewheeldave
The second kind will probably love it.
I suspect that the sites designers are intending to appeal to the second kind of user.

Don't most fire sites?? Or the ones who can afford it or know a talented designer eh.

i.e. if there were NO javascript/active-x etc on the web, the vast majority of malicious code (viral, adware, spyware) would be rendered completely ineffective.

I have to back one wheel dave here ... as a user who most frequently uses their PC at work (oh - the horror!!) I know for a fact that a number of places LOST my business because I couldn't even get in their site ...

The web was made for spreading information and accessibility.
There's no necessity for conflict here, currently there's room on the web for both simple, accessible, information based sites, and for flashy, visual ones that require the extra downloads etc.
But you shouldn't stick your head in the sand and pretend there aren't some issues based on accessibility and security with some of those flashy sites, or make out that a simple site is less worthy.
Obviously I've made my mind up on this- for me flashy sites that insist on using javascript unnecessarily, or activeX or Flash etc won't be getting many visits from me.
I also will continue to raise awareness of the security issues i.e. that when someone has their system trashed by malware the causal factors in that trashing are not solely the perpetuators of viruses/malware; equally responsible is the current prevelance of javascript/activeX.
It would also be nice if search engines identified flash sites using javascript/activeX in the way that they currently identify PDF files (which I also don't bother looking at) so those of us not interested in such sites can avoid wasting time visiting them.
Freedom and choice are good.

I just think we've progressed beyond that. And honestly being a designer trying to push the limits of the web, it irks me in no small way to hear that things I put alot of hard work into are considered a waste of time....................
...........I know what you're saying about the security holes as well, it's really a shame that more standards in code signing(client side as well as activeX controls) can't be implemented, I think that would resolve an immense number of security problems right there.

"equally responsible is the current prevelance of javascript/activeX."
Maybe this is just personal perception, but I think the word equally there is wrong and you're being overly paranoid

Using Flash and client-side scripting can make site simplier and faster. I've seen and built site that run on Flash and once a lightweight Flash movie or page is loaded Flash or scripting can be used to get text data from the server in a much lighter form that loading another page of HTML.

CoolWebSearch is an extreme example of malware.
Yes, thousands do get stung but millions don't.
