When they open source Flash (Not just the browser plugins, but the authoring stuff etc.) I'll get interested.

Having taken a quick look at those links, that stuff seems to mostly be converters and small stuff like that. I think you'd be hard pressed to say that you could make a video player using those, or a game or something like that.

If it's as good as you say, why do I get the feeling that all the people designing stuff with Flash are not using it? And we STILL need a good free software player for Flash that works reliably.

I am not sure how feature complete it is, so that is properly why is not as used by so many, in regard to your second question, i honestly do not know, i really think its odd why they are hiding the documentation for flash, after all they released pdf. You would of thought it would be a advantage now that microsoft have silverlight and sun have java fx.
