Of course, it depends greatly on your intended audience. If your website contains flash games exclusively, it won't make any difference. The user would not have come to the website otherwise.
If your website is, on the other hand, for contact centers, then no, you wouldn't consider it. And yes, you would support IE6 until hell freezes over.

I agree 100%. And I also think HTML5 is not yet the answer until all of the main browsers have it available. The true answer is not to use fancy animations and other such stuff that doesn't need to be there. Too many people put up flash where flash doesn't need to be. Heck, in a lot of cases, an animated GIF would do better.
