One of Abiword's chief virtues when compared with OpenOffice is that it
doesn't contain the kitchen sink, everything in the garage, and some junk
from the neighbor's garage too. I'm exaggerating more than slightly for
effect here, but TBF the only reason I'm interested in AbiWord is precisely
that it's smaller than OpenOffice. OpenOffice already works just fine if you
don't mind its footprint and the difficulty of working on it.
I've contributed very little code to the cause either (just some i18n
additions for libwpd2), so I'm not trying to weigh in with a vote here
either, but I thought another perspective might be helpful.
