Well, both have a richtext backend :), and you want something that scales nicely
and does WYSIWYG (for the cell painting, not for the lineedit on top of the spreadsheet),
which KTextEdit doesn't do (well you wouldn't even be able to embed so
many ktextedits, one into each cell, that would be nonsense ;)

To rephrase: you can't use widgets inside the spreadsheet itself, so ktextedit is
out anyway. The question is more kotext or Qt4's scribe or QPainter::drawText.
One of the first two would be an option when Qt4 comes along, we'll see.
