I don't share the same idea with you, there will be a need for setting a
backend in any way. Just for an example, I use newly added zpspell
(zemberek) backend while I write in Turkish and Ispell (currently) in
English.

I like the KSpell2 way but having a common backend mechanism for all
desktops has benefits (if this is the reason for considering Enchant as
an option).
