Yup. certainly the flash is for impromptu photography, when lighting isn't taken car of better. The problem is of course when we want people to watch the lens so that they are looking at the viewer of the resulting photo, the flash being near the lens for practical reasons.
In any case the flash is only any use for very short ranges of a subject, like 3 or at the most 4 metres. You see so many people using it when it is totally out of place. It should only be used when both necessary and effective. I hardly use it and once I missed a good shot, when I could have exploited the very last one of the spool (back in prehistory) in my girl's little automatic compact. I always found it annoying because I had to remember to set it to no flash every time I switched it on; that time I forgot and I couldn't repeat!
It was hopelessly underexposed.
