I like it for speed, but for complicated sites, I prefer Netscape or Star 
Office.  Some kinds of secure forward access, for example, authentication of 
a password for a site, simply don't work in Konqueror and some frame-based 
sites don't work at all well.  Netscape works in almost all sites.  Star 
Office is next in functionality and Konqueror is third.  I like it better 
than mozilla or opera.  My reasons have to do with speed and the small 
footprint in memory.

KWord is broken in frames mode (desktop publishing) while Star Office 5.2 
works very well.  I'm waiting for a fix.

I'm not sure that koffice works well with any qt beyond 2.3.0.  I'm using 
2.2.4 and it works fairly well (as noted above).

Support for MS Office 97 is limited to fairly simple documents.  95 docs have 
even more problems at this writing, but it is developing rapidly.  Stay 
tuned.  Star Office documents, if saved in Office 97 format seem to work 
fairly well.  Using "fast-save" in Word produces real headaches in KWord as 
both the old and new versions are preserved.  Do a "full-save" before trying 
an import.
