I can name at least five Linux PDF viewers that existed before Okular, in fact,
two of them were KDE apps. So the "done before" argument is not valid, either.

Is is a simple fact that in many organizations (businesses, NGO's,
universities, etc.) that the standard document format in use is the Word
format. I don't like it either, but I need my document viewer to read this
popular document format.
