While I agree with your main point, that they put out a lot of quality software, they also put out Acrobat Reader, which is in many ways a terrible piece of software. Not just technically, but in terms of policies, including built-in spyware, reduced support for non-Microsoft browsers, patent abuse to restrict competitors, a DRM implementation that cripples the functionality of the software, branding that pops up uncontrollably, paid placement to pre-infect Windows PCs, difficulty disabling it, and so on. Hopefully they won't spread Acrobat Reader's worst features to Flash players.
