#3 is certianly true, but that doesn't have anything to do with AbiWord.
Another possible cause is that is that Gnomers realized their crap is even
worse than the evil-c++-cross-platformism inherent in abiword and
thought it would be unwise to chide things that don't work the way
they like for fear of Gnome being criticized for it's faults. But I
would be very atypical of Gnomers since they often critcize things
like Unix that are far better than their own software.
