There are still a number of morons out there who think anything with Winelib behind it isn't a Linux application so they won't use it. Don't listen to them. This is a classy application, ported to Linux, just like we are screaming for vendors to do. It works well, and they've given it away free - possibly as a showcase. It seems that good. Corel are struggling and they deserve our support.

I resent that, Derek. I'm certainly no moron, and it ISN'T a Linux app. if it depends on Wine....which I don't and won't use.
Resent it all you like. Corel's apps don't depend on Wine. They depend on Winelib. People who form opinions about what is and isn't a Linux app when they clearly don't know what is going on, then spout that opinion to all who will listen, are, IMHO, morons.
You defend Winelib here but in your last message you admit to what I think is a showstopper. If these Windows apps are using different versions of Winelib then we are going to run into our own version of dll hell. Not to mention Samy's concern with using Winelib on older hardware. WP8 has always worked great for me and I will continue using it as long as it runs on my system. When WP8 no longer runs, I will switch to another native wordprocessor.
