So what to do? If you setup a computer today without nonfree-flash, that's like the first call you're gonna get: "bohoooo... youtube... bohooo.... myspace.... bohooo... lunax sucks. nothing works"
Before nonfree-flash, it was java; before java, it was acroread; before acroread, it was navigator; before navigator, I don't know, but I expect there was something.
I think this argument has even less weight today than ever before.
nonfree-flash mainly continues to be such a problem because of bad webmasters (usually under strong instruction from site owners) failing to use the type attribute correctly and/or using javascripts that only recognise the Adobe plugin.
Well, that, and that we can't persuade firefox to help fix free flash by always offering it as a preferred alternative to nonfree-flash.

almost impossible to avoid them thinking "oh. it's because of this Lunax where things are painfully difficult and you can't do normal stuff on"
I usually tell them "OK, this isn't really easy because that's a bad Windows(or whatever)-specific website" and that seems to work.
