I disagree. On my x86 laptop, OO.o started u virutally instantly and intergrated well with KDE, including using KDE Open/Save dialogs and my qt/kde theme. On my x86_64 desktop, before the source package would complie, OO.o would take 5-10 seconds to start, then use different colors and widgets from the rest of the desktop, and use some horribly primitive (to my mind) Open/Save dialogs. This was one of the reasons I started using KOffice when I could. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
