I was going to go on a long rant here in response to your assertion that we shouldn't have a flashy interface, but I'll spare everyone and just say that I strongly disagree.
I am not opposed to having a flashy interface at all and did not assert anything like that.
However, having flashy interfaces does not automatically mean that the user experience for users with older soft / hardware has to be bad. In many cases, it is actually pretty easy from a technical perspective to provide a reasonable experience for older browsers while still having flashy things where supported.
I fear that a binary browser policy would discourage people from keeping this in mind, and think that we can do better than that.
