If you were able to ring-fence about 20% of the features of MS Office

I hope this isn't hijacking the thread, and if so, /please /say so, and
I'll repost this in a new thread.
The fact that 20% of the features of MS Office (and by implication, LO
and OO.o) used almost exclusively by some 80% of the users suggests to
me that OO.o should identify that 20% of features and modularize OO.o or
LO or what have you to include that 20% and make the other 80% of the
features available as extensions.
I'd like comments on this idea.

That sounds good in theory, but IMHO it's not as simple as it seems once
you start to debate how to implement it.
I think it's not worth the trouble, given the presence of Gnumeric +
Abiword + google docs for those who need only a 20% of what OOo can
offer (not that I think gnumeric is only 20% of Calc, btw).

The problem is that a user may only use a fraction of LO but each user
uses a different fraction. So for office use you end up needing almost
all the features to cover what most users actually use.
Agreed.
The "light" programs you mentioned can be frustrating to use when you
have used a program with many more features.
Yeah, I know this by experience... But they're not bad after all. I just
like to standardize on OOo/LO/<whatever my current distro offers>
because it's easier in the long run to deal with 1(ish) package than
with two :-)
