The majority, I'd bet.

Flash, when used correctly, can have an awesome impact.  Some of the 
animation/effect type stuff I've seen is mindblowing; and then I've 
seen some really cleverly designed ecommerce systems where a lot of 
stuff normally done via server side pages (php, asp, etc) is done on 
the client side, which allows for cool stuff like comparing product 
prices, features, etc, all without having to wait when they click 
"next" on each item, confirm their shopping "trolley", proceed to 
"checkout", etc.

It's abused so damn much though.  The same style animations; flash used 
for basic menu navigation systems, it's really giving flash a bad name 
:(

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of
people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
