I agree on all points, the acrobat reader not only does all those but can hijack your CPU for a brief moment.
I will say this though: Once loaded and in full use, it can be a nice piece of software in that its navigational capabilities and when used properly in an intranet environment it can come up shinning - just bad UI hijacking and crap like that makes it evil in the end. Flash Paper just rox, i like it lots but it still feels like the little brother to acrobat reader in terms of power... there i said it.. I think i'll need to devote more time to getting used to it.
