FFF - I think

I find leaving a little power on throughout the flare helps greatly ......
I personally tend to use slightly different technique, depending on:
A/c Type Some types tend to lose elevator / rudder effectiveness at landing speed / in the flare and a tad of power just helps provide a bit of control responsiveness
Conditions With a gusty crosswind, I prefer to keep some power on to cope with sudden lulls in airflow over the tail unit
Runway Length If I've got plenty of runway to play with and negligible crosswind, I'm happy to use the throttle just to provide a bit of a cushioning effect
My Approach If my approach and flare has been a tad short / slow, then the throttle just helps extend my flying time to reduce vertical speed / delay the stall!
Flaps Selected If I've got full flap, the whole airframe is really draggy and trying to get below stall speed really quickly - if I've got enough runway, a bit of power just cushions it a bit.
Agree that for a standard 'uncomplicated' flare, then power off and keep the runway just in sight over the nose (unless tailwheel!) works for me.
