"Based on" being the key. It's still slower than the original, and has a rough, unfinished feeling to it

You're right, of course. Just imagine - some of these damn hippies even thought they could write an entire operating system!
Yes, and they did a good job at it too - i'm using it right now. But they did it their way, and that's why it's good. Trying to imitate without actually knowing how it works inside can't really succeed. Then again, if for some reason adobe decided to go open-source with the player specs, i'd be all for it
