I use PDFs a lot, it is not uncommon to have 10 PDF files
simultaneously open, and Acrobat reader is just far more convenient. I
configure its toolbar with lots of buttons for different sorts of
display and navigation, no open source alternative gives me that
flexibility. Moreover open source readers sometimes cannot display
files that Acrobat displays well (I don't have an example now to give
to you, but I found that to be true in the past.)

So yes, if there was an open-source reader as good as Acrobat I would
use it, but it is still not the case (at least for the my use case).
