PDF is an standard, there are even 2 different ISO standards now (one
for professional printing and one for archiving it, so that in a few
thousand years time people are still able to read what we think that is
important...).
Difficult to modify is no problem as long as it is easy to create (what
it is) and we've got the source (that we also have).
It can also be smaller than, e.g. HMTL (and can definitely be smaller
than OpenOffice documents).

Generally bad is totally wrong. It is generally good... ;)

In AcrobatReader it displays for me (under Windows) much nicer than e.g.
GhostView. And it definitely has search ability and hyperlinking.

m2c, please check your sources before you make such strong claims as you
did.
