As a Linux user I hate people who attach word documents to email with
absolutely no thought that some people can't view them. I don't mind if
the document requires some of the more advanced features of word as word
is a decent wordprocessor (except for some annoyances).
Anyway, the point of this is, I like using composer, it can be used to
quickly create documents and then they can be distributed in a cross
platform format. Perhaps we should encourage people to use composer
rather than encouraging them to get rid of it. :)
In the end I think it should eventually be made into a separately
installable component even if it's just to remove composer related icons
in the UI. I don't think it's very important to do now tho. Some point
in the future composer may become more featureful than it is currently
and then it should definitely be separated (the UI and any extra
features, not the core editor code needed by other apps).
