progress on KOffice is awesome
by F for Fragging on Tuesday 28/Feb/2006, @08:48

The progress on KOffice is stunning , I'm blown away. My compliments to the developers.

It looks like KOffice is going to become a OpenOffice killer, and Krita specifically a GIMP killer.

If I wouldn't need OpenOffice's MS Word .doc exporting capabilities (last time I tried KOffice wasn't so good at that) because of all my fellow students who use nothing else than MS Office, I would probably be using KOffice 1.5 exclusively when 1.5 is released. I know it would probably suck to reverse-engineer .doc exporting, but it is an essential feature for me.

Haven't heard much about Karbon though. It would be cool to have Karbon as an alternative to Inkscape, but atm Inkscape is still better.

When exporting to MS word the best way usually are to export as rtf, in fact that's what MS Word itself does when exporting to some of the other MS word versions. It even lies and calls the files .doc, when they are actually are rtf files.

There's been a lot of work on Karbon and Karbon is much nicer than it was. Usability, stability, features, import and export -- lots of very impressive work.
