I'm a Gnome user as well. It in no way impacts my ability to install and use other programs. Even ones whos name starts with a k.

I just 'opened' a PDF in KWord, and KWord appears to import it into a new KWord doc. I'm not a fan of KWord, and it makes a mess out of the document during the import, but it does work, and perhaps a little better than just copying and pasting from evince. It makes a mess out of whitespace and tables, but it works better than I thought it would. That was all on Fedora Rawhide though. I checked on a SL 4.7 machine, and it didn't have koffice in the repos. I didn't see it in Centos 5.2's either, although I'm sure someone's made a package of it for both, somewhere on the net.
