absolutely, yes.
I like kword and kspread well, ligthtweight, fast, well integrated,
does (nearly) every thing I need, so far.
some quirks though (inconsistent font sizes, e.g.).
(I also tried koffice2.x several times, before it became calligra, and it
was
a complete mess, unusable, data loss etc.).
OO, however, is a monster and just plain overkill, I just use it rarely
when I
have to look at some M$-office documents sent from someone...
I hope KOffice is not removed from the Trinity
line, but I am wondering
how
much work is involved to package the apps
separately. Likely there would
need to be a koffice-base package that contains all the common libraries,
headers, etc.
hm, there ARE separate packages, e.g. kspread:

Beschreibung: a spreadsheet for the KDE Office Suite [Trinity]
KSpread is a powerful spreadsheet application. It is scriptable and
provides
both table-oriented sheets and support for complex mathematical formulae
and statistics.
This package is part of the KDE Office Suite.

While I do think certain applications from the KOffice suite are not
replaceable, I do think that KWord and our database programs are
replaceable.
An important thing to remember is that the development team has so much
time. How long do we keep the Koffice suite before it is incompatible with
others? Does LibreOffice provide what we need? Does KOffice do what we need?
Obviously I am not suggesting we drop KOffice or anything of that nature,
but one does need to plan ahead.
