A very early initial draft of this review was posted on OSNews many months ago. The final version just went live and is about three times as long, now including open source alternatives, as well as a review of the new online word processor solutions.

Basically, I found the AbiWord review to be garbage.
From the FA
its development has been slower than expected. This is reflected in the lack or features common to other small word processors, such as PDF export, ODF support, and better graphics handling. It will be interesting to see how soon (or if?) AbiWord will support ODF as a native file format.
I have just opened an .odt file in Abiword on my Ubuntu Feisty Compiz desktop (hey I have only had it going in glorious 3D for less than a week). Abiword will handle SVG images with the SVG image loader plugin handling installed. OOo won't handle SVG graphics.
You can create a PDF file from the print dialog. Did the authors even try Abiword or are they using a version from 2000 or something
