Have you tried opening OpenOffice documents in other ODF applications? Abiword, GNU spread etc.?

No. Just testing OOo and Koffice was enough for me to highlight the compatibility problem.
Compatibility with OOo is the most important, because also used on windows platform.

I disagree. Using an office suite that is far from complete and announced as such isn't a reliable test for ODF standards compatibility between applications.

The fact is you can use OOo on KDE/Gnome/windows platforms.
The fact is you cannot yet use Koffice, especially on KDE4.

This makes a huge difference.

Not really true. You *can* use it, though it's not yet feature complete. Whether you do so is entirely your choice, and for me, that choice is important. In fact I prefer to have both installed, and use both, for different tasks/purposes.

You cannot use on regular basis something which is not reliable or still in development, and not yet available on KDE4 (which is now 2.5 years old), and not integrated in any KDE distribution.

Still in development, yes. Not reliable, no - I've not found it to be so. Not yet available on KDE4 - not mainstream, I guess, but can be found.

There is no point in continuing this further. You choose not to use it - fine. End of story.

I agree with you.
I also think at least 6 more months are necessary for Koffice to be integrated in distributions (cross platform tests, ODF compatibility tests etc etc) to ensure reliability.

I'm still pretty impressed by the work of only 7 or so developers... compared with the **** 200-odd developers push out in OpenOffice...

I wish KDE projects had more interest.
