I agree with you.
But sometimes, well just sometimes firespin is very effective.

Flamethrower. Fire Spin is just a waste of time apart from maybe in the anime where it looks stronger.

My vote is on Fire Spin, it traps your opponent so they can't switch.
If you want power, go for Fire Blast.
Flamethrower is only good on Fire types because of STAB, but how many Fire types (barring starters/legendaries) are actually usable in the game?

Fire Spin has its uses, but Flamethrower is more reliable in teams of damage and accuracy. Flamethrower has my vote, but I believe Fire Spin still has its niche uses in battle.

yeah.. to use fire spin, it's really about strategic battling.. and whether one can use it to their advantage very much..

All Fire Spin really does is keep an opponent from switch out for 2-5 turns, and that's what things like Chaosbreon is for (for those noobs that dont know what Chaosbren is, its an Umbreon with Wish/Mean Look/Baton Pass/Taunt). Fire Spin is a frikin screwed over move. Its a proven fact that Flamethrower is the best.
Good day.

just a passing thought.. wouldn't it be useful if your opponent were poisoned, and you used fire spin to stop it from switching out? o.o

yeah, actually, me too. I only let my Pokemon learn Fire Spin because I happened to just watched the episode where Vulpix unleased an amazing fire spin in one of the indigo episodes.. I really thought it was an awesome move back then~

Fire Blast > Flamethrower...
Fire Spin is good for trapping in 2v2 battles where you can trap an enemy and stack Leech Seed and Toxic onto it for increased duration damage.
Also, Fire Spin (or any duration damage) + Curse (Ghost version) or Nightmare KO's the enemy in 3 turns instead of 4. That can be useful in 2v2 battles.
