There is no other office suite worth the same. And here I thought *nix users liked to have full control over their apps. Tsk tsk tsk, getting a paper click to do their work for them. :) Nothing beats Reveal Codes in WordPerfect to get a document looking *exactly* the way you want it to... and knowing why it looks the way it does when something goes wrong. :) IMO, the only "wordprocessor" Microsoft ever got to work correctly, and was worth buying, was Works 3.0. None of their offive producs since can compare to its simplicity, flexibility, and power. :) As for MUAs, so long as the mail travels reliably between servers, and the servers are solid enough to service all the clients, then it doesn't really matter what they are running on the client end. I'm writing this in Pegasus Mail since that's the proggie I've used for the past 5 years, before I found FreeBSD. Someday, I might move to a FreeBSD desktop, but for now I'm content with Win98SE on the laptop and FreeBSD in the server room.
