I dislike pdf files becuae they are bulky and slow to load and if
you're using a web browser to begin with then starting up acrobat
or whatever the damn thing is called, is redundant and less nimble
and requires you to use an additional application. I think it
quite inelegant. I don't see why many things are done as pdf's
when it would be far simpler and easier to just make it a web page.

Everything in pdf is slower and more awkward. That's why.
