This thread started because people with low mem were worried about the 
usage.  So, the fact that this thread exists is enough answer to your 
question :)

The reason KOffice does not use it is historical, but just as importantly; 
various apps are not stable enough to do so.
When either;
a) KOffice apps hardly ever crash (including their filters)
b) KOffice apps don't crash and their filters are moved to separate 
processes

only then we should move to KUniqueApplication.  The result of a renewed 
lifelyness in KOffice means we should eventually be able to make the 
move, the question of moving in the opposite direction seems silly in my 
eyes and completely out of touch with what the users want.

ps. the usability aspect of KConfig changes has been solved many years ago 
already in the original styleguide.
