Why does Adobe Flash on Linux still suck?

linux.slashdot.org — This is the worst example of being tied down and bound by a crappy 3rd-party product over which no Linux distribution has any control. GNASH is nice, but it just isn't there 100%. Does Adobe have some sort of motivation for keeping Flash on Linux in such a deplorable state?

    "The flashplayer performance is horrible, but the OP lists no specifics to help him with his problem. Theres no distro name, no kernel or browser type or version given, no way anyone can help him.

    The post is just a bitch and moan."

    With very few specific complaints I might add. All he mentions is that it crashes on youtube and speculates that Adobe has a small Linux team. Great, thanks. For all we know, he's probably complaining about v9 (and I've heard good things about v10RC - I'm using it myself and have had no problems). While he makes some good points about how Flash holds back Linux in a few ways, he really brings nothing to the table. Stupid post.
