This article is about Acrobat, and I have to agree with its ridiculous transformation into bloatware.
It seems companies like to release major new versions of things that don't need to become "better", instead of focusing talent elsewhere.
I can't name a single feature I use in acroread that wasn't available and done less obnoxiously in 5.0.9. On Linux, I still run 5.0.9...it's ugly, but it works.
I also now tend to use "xpdf", because it is very quick and works fine for almost any PDF I come across.
