With the exception of the spreadsheet and the MUA - and I use that description 
lightly - most of that functionality can be achieved with TeX and with a more 
professional appearance. Granted this approach requires a higher skill level 
but on balance it's worth it because the results are better. People in 
corporate environments seem to use this "toy" software a lot which I can only 
imaginge is for ease and because almost anyone can use it. It can't for cost 
benefit as the most popular version is so expensive. I would never pay that 
much for something put together so badly. I do appreciate, though, the 
conveniece bluetooth and the-like provide. At the moment it's just not 
something I care too much about.
