quite true but at least it's free (as in beer) and unbloated. on *nix, I'm loving kpdf and xpdf which cover all my needs; reading the file.
Understandably, my needs are less than many others as PDF for me is simply a way to print news to files for later reading from Flashdrive or PalmOS.
Under win32 (I don't get to pick what I use at work; yet they allow Flashdrives so far) I need a pdf reader that'll run from a single directory (portableApps is my new win32 OS) and Adobe bloat isn't going to cut it. When I'm able to replace Foxit with a more open portable reader; the'll be no indecision.
I also like what the folks at portableApps are doing and that they are using FOSS where possible. My home machines get a basic OS install while my user apps and data move from usb port to usb prot depending on where I feel like working.
