Re: Light-weight office suite?

I agree and that's why I don't use Konqueror as a web browser (although it's one of the most powerful file browsers available) and Koffice as an office suite.
I don't wish to discourage the developers who I am sure are giving their best but I would love to see Qt versions of Firefox and openOffice. That would bring me to the zenith of my Linux experience :) Sometimes I ask myself if it wouldn't be more constructive to work with these other projects in order to achieve such a goal instead of duplicating efforts.

You couldn't pry Firefox from my cold-dead-hands. EVAAAR!!!!
I use it on any computer and operating system that will run it.
It's the only reason I'm even using Linux on a daily basis. Firefox has 100% feature parity with the Internet. ON ANY OPERATING SYSTEM.

I wouldn't use KDE/Linux if it weren't for Firefox. Konqueror is all nice and neat, but it ain't no *fox.

openOFFICE, and Koffice won't ever have the adoption rate of Firefox, if they can't deliver 100% feature parity (for most common usage, with plugins for the rest) with MS-Office. You can skip "clippy", nobody needs that guy anyways.

Did Microsoft's anouncement yesterday help at all? - News please. How does it affect Linux?

OpenOffice.org 2.x does use Qt under KDE. The problem is that it just uses Qt widgets but it is not a KDE application.
