Umm, no, it is an acceptable proposition, at least for me :P After all I'm a user with my own preferred means of doing something, so it works for me. Of course, it may be unacceptable for you simply because it doesn't work: that's perfectly ok, just find something else that does work. Now, if everything else doesn't work for you, you probably have a problem. Either you live with it, or figure out a way such that it changes how your subproblems are represented, and therefore allowing you to decide on which of the existing measure you can use to solve those problems. Brooks said it best: representation is the essence of programming. That applies to office workers too.
we need nice documents and the ms office way has reached its limits. the office software market is ripe for takeover and another office clone is not the solution. ms office is good implementation if a wimp interface and its the limitation of the wimp paradigm that is the problem.
Have you taken a look at LaTeX? Of course, its yet another big hulking piece of software (and yes, software that is only remotely related to office software, addressing only a particular subproblem,) but, have you tried it at least once? :) Cheers, Zakame -- Zak B.
