Basically three things, IIUC:

1. Flash is a massive resource hog, which would tank battery life.
3. Flash is a closed platform and Apple of late likes to promote open web standards like HTML 5 and CSS.
2. The Flash plugin would be proprietary Adobe secret sauce, creating a big external dependency in an environment that Apple otherwise has complete control over.

The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting.
