I don't believe for one minute that John is averse to a free solution.
I think it's justthat, as he said in the first paragraph, "they ain't
good enough"

I agree with him, despite acroread being a bug-ridden pile of
proprietary junk (IMHO).

Your example Okular is good, but try zooming in to read small print or
drawing details on a scalable document or similar and you'll find it
pixelated where acroread renders cleanly. For me that makes Okular
unusable. Last time I tried, all the others had some problem.

Personally I'd love to consign acroread to the skip, but it hasn't
happened yet.
