I can say that koffice is excellent!  I disgree that koffice has less
features, it just has *different* ones - the frame paradigm of koffice is
actully a lot more useful for what many, many users want to do (yes, I am
exposed to "normal" users, btw - i work deploying koffice to
them.  please don't accuse me of being isolated from them without first
familiarising yourself with me.)

There are features which I agree koffice needs (revision control being the
big one on my list, as I can't see it anywhere, but I won't have time to
look at the problem of implenting it for a while), but for many home
users, and many business users (not all, obnviously), the featureset of
koffice is actully more useful than the feature set of oo.org.  and I have
the users to prove it ;)
