"Adobe is playing the porn card. It's over" - spoken like a true fanboy.<p>There are many reasons to hate flash - it's proprietary, it's slow on anything other than Windows, it's sub-optimal on Windows compared to alternatives (such as just streaming video directly - Youtube HD being a case in point).<p>It's also something that runs a large part of the Internet. I went without Flash for 3 months and whilst my Internet experience didn't feel that much less after getting used to it, I did feel left out by not being able to watch Youtube, play games on newgrounds etc.
