I can sort of understand why some idiot at sunacle didn't want to implement Aqua menus in Swing. It's irritating but not horrible. I can sort of understand why some idiot at microvell decided to make Gtk# look like Win32 across platforms. Consistency in pixels and all that nonsense.
But adobe, why did you make your setup/update and help UI so unnecessarily horrible? I mean, it doesn't look native ANYWHERE! It looks like arse on Mac OS X, it looks like arse on Windows, and it's slow as molasses everywhere. Are they trying to go for platform-independent suckage? Or are they trying to shove the cloud down my throat?
Also, no, I don't want to quit Safari and Firefox so that your cruddy CS5 installer can downgrade my flash player from 10.1 to 10.0. I have many pages open, some with unentered data, and I just can't close everything for you to 'manage' some component I don't even want or need. Besides, since you're practically forcing me to use the cloud, this is like restarting my computer. For a bloody freaking downgrade of some cruddy multimedia framework that will make my computer beg on its knees for mercy. No thanks.
