Agreed, but I guess thats the case for all .0 releases ;)

Yes, it comes down to this to a large extend.  For KWord I know various 
features are missing, but at the same time a set of new features have been 
added that are extremely exciting in my opinion. For example we actually have 
WYSIWYG :D

Again agreed.

As I have said to Alexandra who is doing some KOffice promotion preparation 
from the corner of the kde-promo team, KOffice is an office suite with a 
vision and a great new way of doing things.  Also extremely extensible.
The balance between lacking features and promoting our great framework is 
something that we need to find.
