A shame

It's a shame that all changes made are not so important. I mean, most office users (small office, home office, even not office at all, just want to open the damn .doc a friend sent me) need Word and Excel compatibility. KWord still needs better Word documents handling, and KSpread is almost useless for real world sheets. I like both and use them if I don't have to share documents. And I understand that supporting office formats is not so important for some developers, specially when Office 2007 came out recently with another format. But there isn't even true good compatibility with OpenDocument. If I load a sheet created with OpenOffice (a real sheet, not some stupid test) most styles are completely screwed. I wish I could dump that beast once and for all.
