et voila ce qu'ils pensent de OpenOffice par rapport à KOffice (je suis 100% d'accord avec eux, surtout le premier commentaire de David Faure qui résume très bien la situation actuelle des suites bureautiques sous unix) :
David : OpenOffice is not the Suite of choice, it is rather the only one that's currently doing the job. If KOffice improves, everyone (almost) will prefer KOffice (lighter, more integrated with the rest of KDE, nicer toolkit to use IMHO, etc.)
[...] Philippe : KOffice has much more potential: it was developed by very tiny manpower in comparison with other suits or applications. David : Yes, the power of KOffice is that it fully reuses the power of Qt and KDE. KOffice can embed documents thanks to kparts, it has configurable toolbars thanks to the XML-GUI, etc. This means KOffice development can concentrate on the actual office functionality. The rest is provided by Qt & Kdelibs. Werner : Some people compare the pure line counts. OpenOffice has approx 8 million lines, KOffice about 350.000 or so. We can use a lot of nice stuff from Qt and KDE. OpenOffice has to invent *everything* above libc.[...]
