heck no :-)

Real stats are going to be done in a stats package anyway :-). But
writing articles, the academics' daily bread and butter in increasingly
done in a full-fledged office suite (unless you happen to be in physics,
engineering, or maths). Most of my article submissions to professionally
managed journals are required in .doc format. Yes, really!

But better citation management would be a boon. Mostly trying to help
zotero to get its stuff done in OO, I guess. Support for
collaboration would be a boon (something like abicollab.net), or
something like ooosvn which supports revision systems for
collaboration. And .doc .docs interoperability would be a boon.

Just three tiny things this academic would love to see improved :).
