Flash wouldn't be my first choice, but if done correctly I suspect it would be very good.
Most websites that use flash tend to only implement it in 'small pieces' where html / css isn't a suitable option. The trouble with this approach is trying to ensure the page looks and behaves the same across the various technology boundaries. Often this isn't done very well.
The other option is to produce a website entirely in flash. This isn't the norm, but it would get around alot of the problems I mentioned above. Others are introduced however. :-) This site does just that: http://www.sterkinekor.com
It has mixed reviews. Some people love it, while others hate it.
Jon: Are you sure about the lack of 'loading status' in flash? The example site above does something similar but there is a slight delay at the start while I guess it loads the framework.
Personally I wouldn't go for Flash. Html / CSS and Javascript (JQuery) is the way to go as far as I'm concerned.
