I should have said off camera flash, not just external.
The flash would be needed (or some kind of lighting) if you were to get really keen on portraits or some macro shots etc. We all start using the onboard flash but no serious portrait photographer would use a flash mounted on the camera for portraits.
The flash is not the first thing on the list of things buy but I included it as one of the things that I personally use quite a bit and would be lost without.
