As far as I'm concerned, I would rather wish for more shared code. One thing that has been annoying me, at least in the past, was that one thing had more funtionality in one application than it had in another. Things that I can do in Draw I can not do in Writer, for example, even if I am working with the same kind of object. And I can't do everything with characters in Calc that I can do in Writer. I wish OpenOffice.org was MORE object oriented, so that everythings works exactly the same way in all the applications in which it's relevant. Sorry for not mentioning any examples; I am just not sure since it was a long time since I ran into it. And maybe some of the examples I would come up with are corrected since then too… J.R. > Changing it would be a very big undertaking.
