I have no relationship with KDE/KOffice crew, just the use of it’s products – it’s just so good. Within the last 6 months, it has become exponentially better, and I can only seeing that to continue. Now I’ve been using word processors of all sorts, but to be honest -> KOffice (Kword) has to be one of the best for Unix/Linux, pitty it doesn’t get all the ‘hype’ which is so badly deserves. Especially with the absolutely beautiful font rendering with the xft2 (Eg: RedHat ‘hacked’ kdelibs – but I must say that the font rendering in RedHat 7.3 for Koffice apps was pretty much the same quality before they decided to hack it so xft2 was used – must be a Qt thing). Now with Koffice 1.2 which comes with RedHat 8.0, I can honestly say there is no reason to use Open Office. It would crash a lot when importing exporting/printing, and overall just seemed quite buggy, so I groaned and used bloated OO, or booted into Windows and used Word. In response to Sean, with my experiences, I personally started using KOffice (hence Kword) myself alot when I was using RedHat 7.3 – which came with KOffice 1.1, which to be honest – I wasn’t very happy with. But then again, OO’s shortcommings extended a lot further than just the font rendering. Holy I looked at that screenshot and nearly died, it looks absolutely f_cking horrible.
