I'll reserve judgement on the need for further development (though I'm
waiting for a feature or 2 myself). But, Ill agree with the remainder
concerning the "features" of other stuff. The only thing I might add to
is Star Office. In addition to what was said, it also likes to take over
all of my resources for hours at intermittent times. It's actually faster
to reset the machine and let it pour over 50GB of hard drive space than
it is to wait for SO to release a little cpu & memory from one of its
processes.
