[Gllug] Office software

On the understanding that Star Office will not run on my laptop I am
looking for an alternative.

As I see it they are as follows:

gnumeric, abiword = both great but lack graphs and tables respectively

koffice = no word export and kpresenter does not offer full import
support for ppt files

Hancom office (www.hancom.com) = looks good, much better in KDE than
gnome, a bit unstable (final beta).  Would not use 1.5 as it still
relies upon wine and I have never seen anything reliable yet under wine

Applixware (now anywhere www.applixware.com ) = used to be very clunky,
their site has no demo.

Does anyone recommend applixware?  Or do I have to wait another few
months for one of the other three to improve?

Cheers
Xander
