I don't disagree with you if what you're complaining about is the vast number
of features built into the core of Microsoft Office. But software features
rarely kill a software product. Much more often it's the lack of features
that drag a software product to it's death.

I don't take offense at that unless you're implying that I stop making
suggestions :). If I make 24 suggestions a year, and 1 or 2 of them actually
make it into the product then I'm quite happy! The majority of my feature
suggestions are put directly into bugs.kde.org as a wish item. Those I don't
mention here. After all I already think its a good idea, why should I ask
others for my own opinion <grin>? I post a concept here when I'm not 100%
sure about the concept and would like feedback. In my opinion it is through
this feedback that a concept gets refined, or other more interesting ideas
emerge.

I think any piece of functionality that has an impact on the core User
Interface is a look and feel issue first, and a functionality issue second.
If we boil down kde-look to "look and feel" issues only, then this is going
to be a pretty dead list :(
