I haven't really felt the need for a dedicated PDF reader ever since Firefox upped their PDF support. It works pretty well and recently added support for form filling, text box and drawing [1].

SumatraPDF does support other file formats, which is nice.

Is there a dual page view? Can you change whether the first page is left or right?

These are all the settings available: https://i.imgur.com/sMZPTax.png

It has dual page view and the option for odd or even page split - addressing your first page left/right concerns.
