I'd say additional to eye candy.
Since it is not the same group of developers it isn't an exclusive choice.

The KOffice programs are already working together, the 2.x version will 
increase this even further, i.e. composite documents can contain portions of 
each application's domain, e.g. a drawing from Krita can be embedded into a 
KWord document as an element, not only as an embedded component.

While the KDE PIM applications are already quite integrated as well in 
Kontact, the new PIM architecture based on Akonadi (scheduled for KDE 4.1) 
will not only make this integration smoother, it will also allow other 
applications to integrate parts of PIM functionality quite easily.

What kind of PIM<->Office collaboration are you envisioning that isn't  
available yet?

KDevelop.

Probably Eclipse if its non-Java plugins improve a bit more.
