I have Flash on every page of my website and use it for presenter delivery videos.
I have had some great customer feed back over it and have utilsed it in SEO in terms of the videos.

I think Flash is being used less for applications that don't need it.
To get real value out of Flash you're looking at pretty involved design and development work. That is expensive so that makes it less desirable unless it's really needed or going to offer some kind of real benefit to the client.
i.e. a client is not going to want to use Flash for a slideshow when it can be done cheaper with AJAX.
However if you think about interactive advertising, DRM backed media streaming, webcam/chat applications, games, cartoons, visualization and really rich interactive products Flash become appealing again. But these applications of Flash tend to be requested by those with bigger budgets, so they aren't so common.
I think thats the long and short of it.
As for not liking AS, I know pleanty who hate ActionScript (OO AS3 for example) because its more involved (not because its difficult, but because its more work and requires a bigger investment of time to get GOOD results) and prefer to stick to less involved technologies because thats more cost effective for them and/or they just prefer working with other technologies.
