Re: GNOME still got more projects (58) :-(

Just nitpicking here, but apparently there is such a thing as "GNOME Office". It's just not as integrated.

It consists of Abiword, Gnumeric, and GNOME-DB.

At least that's according to Gnumeric's website: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/ and wikipedia.

The abiword website barely even mentions GNOME or even gtk (but it's there). GNOME-DB of course mentions GNOME, but I didn't look hard enough to find a mention of GNOME Office.

Oh, and Gnumeric is an official gnome project.

Abiword and Gnumeric are both very good apps. I actually tend to use them over the KOffice counterparts, and I'm a KDE fan boy. KSpread didn't have XY-scatter, and its calculation dependencies were innefficient (to the point of crashing), so I had to use gnumeric. However, to print, I had to open the spreadsheets up in KSpread for good PDFs.

From what I've read, the 2 problems I had with KSpread are fixed in 2.0, so I've got my fingers crossed.
