Most developers code around the bugs.
I like Flash. It's a wonderful environment - one of the few truly multi-platform developer environments that runs embedded in a web page. It's certainly better than any of the Java I've seen embedded.
I also like html5/css/ajax. That will probably replace Flash although Flash apps still seem much more like real apps to me than any of the Ajax stuff.
We have 20,000 users hitting our site's 300,000 line ActionScript 3/Flash app in large numbers today. There are currently no outstanding bugs and no one complains of any crashes. One of the problems is that a lot of non-programmers write Flash code that does bad things to resources, etc.
That said, I wish Adobe would bring the Mac version up to the Windows one for the player.
