I must agree...    I've never used any other aspect of Koffice, and 
probably won't --- I have MS Office on my machine via cross-over.   I 
admit that I initially thought a little less of Krita since it was 'the 
drawing package of Koffice'...     I'd never attempt to use the drawing 
package of openoffice to do anything real, and so I wasn't tempted to 
use Krita...        I'm discovering now that it rivals and exceeds the 
Gimp in many aspects.

I'm curious --- how many of the Koffice components does Krita depend on?

but even if we don't remove the dependancies --- I think having more of 
an 'independent' mind-set for Krita might gain more attention.
