Hi, I think kmathtool is much simpler compared to KMathCenter, but it does 
make sense to merge the two...

I must say I like the idea...
Especially Bruch, KMathTool and KMathCenter are very related...
The merged prog could e.g. have an object system: objects would be things like 
points, coordinates, values, functions, which different tools could operate 
on (e.g. a tool "integrate", which operates on a function and returns a 
function, a tool "solve", which operates on a function and returns a 
value/list of values...) This should be presented to the user in a 
straightforward way. (Interesting note: the object system would easily allow 
for scripting combined with the KJS (javascript) library...)
I don't really see how Kig would fit in, however... it doesn't really operate 
on values or functions, but on figures and objects...

just my two ¢ ...
