I use Adobe products. Acrobat is garbage, Dreamweaver is good, and photoshop is also good. I use Acrobat the most though, and I agree that it is bloated and ridiculous. I won't be buying it again.
And yet, I still side with them in this issue.
IMO, Apple has no problem with Adobe. The only reason they're 'banning' Flash is because they're competing with Android and the openness of the Android system. The more you push Apple, the more set in their ways and stubborn they become.

Apple has always had beef with Adobe. There are rumours of an in house Photoshop killer at Apple just waiting for the day when they pull what they did with Premier and we got Final Cut Pro.
They also pissed Apple off by dragging their feet on a Carbon version of all their software forcing OS X users to run them in Classic for almost a year and a half and now they are doing the same thing with 64 bit support and their refusal to use Cocoa.
Flash on Android is not what everyone thinks it is either. It will only run on handsets that use a Snapdragon or equivalent with at least 2.1 and Adobe will have to notify your carrier that there is an update because it is to be delivered OTA. If Adobe or your carrier decides that this isn't for you, you don't get it. So, hooray for openness.
