Pros

It is very familiar and compatible with other Adobe software, making it easier to use.""With the alliance with Microsoft, the product is perfectly integrated.""Without Adobe Flash player, I wouldn't be able to do my day-to-day functions.""I am impressed with the tool’s documentation.""The UI is really good."

Cons
"It would be ideal if there was more research on the product available.""At times it can be slow, but other than that it is a great and helpful product.""Adobe can focus on the gaming side mode.""It would be nice to see Adobe Flash as a separate application instead of embedding it with other apps. I want the product to be a simple app. The product’s scalability is also one of its weak points.""It would be nice to have more integration and faster integration."

More Adobe Flash Cons →

"Stability is sometimes lacking in updates.""The debugger often has problems determining where to map files to local projects.""Most recent set of patches (2018) on Mac OS X caused the app to crash when you would cut more than 10 lines of code. Apparently, this was due to a bug in Eclipse, but regardless, it took several months for Zend to post a patch."
