KDE and GNOME

[worker201]

GNOME office is quite unstable too (Gnumeric especially)

I don't know what the fuck is up with those guys - I have reported numerous gnumeric crashes, and they haven't done anything.  It's like gnumeric has been abandoned.  Which sucks, because I liked its interface and functionality better than OOCalc.

IMHO AbiWord is the 3rd greatest word processor of all time, in my opinion (after WordPerfect 8 and Mariner Write).  No spreadsheet will ever trump Quattro.

Yeah I like gnumeric more than Calc ... except for the random crashing

I have Java installed ... and OpenOffice can use it, it should auto-detect it ... if not it's under Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org->Java

My two cents - I think gtk looks cooler than qt.

Yes, it does. I tend to favor the GNOME apps as well. Galeon over Konqueror, at least until Firefox came along. Gedit over Kate, at least until Jedit. As for all the silly time wasting games, the GNOME collection is much better.  

As for desktop environments, nothing beats Enlightenment  :p
