> most people who care about photography don't use flash much for direct illumination
I used to be adamantly against flash too. Then I read some of The Strobist blog. Now I am only against bad use of flash, the type built into P&S cameras.
Warning, it is very well written and way too informative. I don't even own a DSLR, but I really want to get my own remote speedlight just for the occasions when I use my friends' nice cameras.
