(-1)+ / - Me too, OS X Preview.app is al you need, now for Windows, would be nice if the default image viewer there would start supporting PDF's too....
(-2)+ / - There are many amazing plugins being added/updated all the time. Also, Reader 9.1 is sitting at 35.7 MB, 10 times higher than Foxit Reader and that much more powerful. If you're not the type of person that uses PDF's the way they're intended and think that they're meant to be portrait white pages with black text, then simply disable the plugins that you don't use. The rest of us put them to good use.
(-2)+ / - Foxit Reader can't do shit. Of course, it is fast because it opens a small subset of PDF files. I tried opening a PDF Portfolio and foxit reader didn't know what hit it!!
