Flash = Cilantro

Okay, so I'm not going to dive into the age-old debate about Flash, but I did like this nice turn of a phrase by Merlin Mann:

Use Flash like you would cilantro—sparingly and for a single high-impact effect. Nobody wants to eat a whole bowl of cilantro, and nobody wants an animated death march when they have a “passionate task” to complete.

Of course, I might just like it because I'm a foodie...
