this is just an off the cuff assumption on my part, but i think one of the reasons why certain suites run shitty on osx is because they're trying to port what is basically win32 or proprietary os9 formatted code to the unix base.
since neither adobe or macromedia ever thought unix or linux would be a viable platform for their over-priced software, the (code) framework for those programs doesn't work well with darwin.
true that osx/darwin isn't pure unix. but, it is close enough to cause headaches for mm and adobe developers.
like i said, just an assumption.
i base this guess on the fact you can install open-source unix based software pretty easily on osx but you can't install any of the mm or adobe products on freebsd...at least to my knowledge.
makes sense that their porting sucks.
