[GLLUG] KSpread :(

[Chick Tower]

I've used SuperCalc, Lotus 1-2-3, Excel, OpenOffice Calc, and Gnumeric, 
and had no problem figuring them out.  Well, maybe the first spreadsheet 
program I ever saw, SuperCalc, was a little tricky to figure out, but 
only because it was my first.  I've even used a spreadsheet on the Atari 
130XE, but I forget its name; maybe it was VisiCalc.  Every time I try 
to use KSpread, though, it's a challenge just to figure out how to do 
things.

KWord is little better.  The other day I wanted to save a document in 
RTF format, so I could share it with my Windows-using relatives.  I had 
only four choices, if I recall correctly, for file formats, all 
OpenOffice.  It can read in tons of formats, but it doesn't want to save 
to them.  I don't know what the KDE developers who work on the office 
programs are smoking, but it's rotting their brains.  Either that, or 
they were so screwed up to begin with that they couldn't figure out any 
other office applications, so they created ones only they could understand.

Does anyone else like the KOffice applications?
