PDF is great as an *option* for those who understand its value. Consider that many don't know what PDF stands for or why it even exists.
I've noticed that many users (mostly Windows IE Acrobat Reader) hate dealing with PDFs. I can understand why-- you click on a PDF link and your browser transforms (slowly!) into something completely different visually. Most of the ways you interact with web pages are gone: you can't enter data into forms, you can't easily copy text to the clipboard, you have to deal with zooming. Even panning and scrolling through the document can be confusing (page vs continuous modes). The choices made by MS and Adobe around this experience have puzzled me for years. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
