Regarding sim-im or koffice? Sim-im has quite large community
and a Wikipedia page in six or seven languages. Anyway I was just renaming
and updating the existing package sim. I could submit to it but I followed
our new convention to use kde3- prefix.

For those who use kde3 the advantage is the best integration with the desktop.
No other office suite is as closely integrated with kde3 as kde3-koffice,
although libreoffice provides some basic integration.

The integration manifests in similar styles, fonts, country and other settings, 
as the whole desktop uses, as well as provided kparts modules which allow 
integration with
browser and embeeding.

The overall inteface style and controls layout is also common. 

Also note that for some tasks libreoffice is exceptionally slow.
