No.

On espn.com and on http://www.adobe.com/creativelicense/ flash seems
to consistently hang and then usually crash.  On espn.com, usually the
top banner-ad-thingy (the "motion" widget?) hangs or crashes and
usually but not always takes down the other flash windows along with
it.  On the Adobe site the splash screen loads, displays a loading
0->99% counter, and then hangs or crashes.

I haven't tried Flash elsewhere and usually avoid it.
