Agree. There really don't exist any problem. In those cases we can't agree we 
let it be. Simple. And no one will consider suggesting such hefty 
applications(or/and flamebait topics) such as konqueror or kword because as 
you say they are too difficult and they actually differ from their 
equivalents(it makes no sense excluding them from their opposite enviroment). 
As you suggest, we start small and simple and further see how far we get, if 
it as little as one app it is worth it. IMHO.
