Frankly Oracle sucks, and so does Open Office.
It is unacceptable to use it as far as i am concerned. it has become unusable and bloaty over the years and Oracle has prevented it from maturing. LibreOffice is the viable alternative. I think that if we get them to patch back in the KDE3 stuff that would be worth it. using Open Office is not worth it.

I share the sentiment in large part, but let's never forget "You catch more flies with honey than you do salt..."
Much of the support drop over the past 2 years has been the result of kde.org dropping kde3. The 3rd-party software has just followed their lead.
I don't know, but it just strikes me that if oracle was approached and made aware that the Trinity project has matured and is kde3 based and ooo support would benefit both -- then I don't see why support can't just be put back in.
After all - it exists, it's not like something new has to be developed, they just have to include what they used to include.
I think that's worth a shot and makes sense all the way around :)
