Hunspell has some advantages over MySpell, see http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/ After all, Hunspell was written because MySpell can't handle Hungarian properly. Ripping out Hunspell may also need adaption of the source code using it, but I'm not sure about that. > Also, the hunspell dictionaries are backwards compatible with Myspell > so some people may not notice the difference. Not true, Hunspell uses UTF-8 encoded dictionaries while MySpell uses awkward single byte encoding. Every sane project uses Hunspell nowadays.
