Ok, I do like the very beautiful formatted pages that can be had with PDF, but its just too slow and bloated to be useful to me at this juncture in my computer technology arsenal. I would probably like PDF more as the preferred format for old computer documentation if I had like a dual Pentium II 450 system with scads of hard drive storage, a superfast graphics accelerator, coupled with my super-fast cable modem connection to the internet. But the fact is I don't, and not many other people do either. If Adobe could make the page updates 100% faster and the storage requirements 100% smaller then they'd have a true breakthru. I guess they're like Microschlock, waiting for the hardware to catch up to the code bloat.
