Hi, I am forwarding this discussion to the OOo discuss list, because 
of course it is very interesting to us as well.

KDE is an amazing desktop environment, but of the applications that
 i use most, none of the packaged KDE programs are really the best
 of breed.

KOffice < OpenOffice
KMail < Thunderbird
Konquerer < Firefox
Noatun < Juk
Kopete < gaim

One that i really do use a lot is Kate, i think it's a great app,
 and i love it's integration with KGet and fish.

but instead of building it's own web browser, and it's own mail
 client, why doesn't KDE focus on integrating more thouroughly
 these other fantastic, open source applications?

It seems one of the most powerful things that KDE could provide, as
 a desktop environment, would be the integration between the
 biggest and best open source programs in the world into the
 biggest and best desktop environment in the world.

imagine what could be achieved if KDE, OpenOffice and the Mozilla
project joined forces...

cheers

iain
