Things are improving. To date the main bottle necks have been two
fold.
1) There was nowhere for the apps to share code. This problem is
going away with the inclusion of libgsf in the xp layer of abiword.
It will also get substantialyl better in the coming weeks when
libgoffice moves out of gnumeric core and into a standalone
module.
2) Our apps have focused on domain expertise at the expense of
integration. To me this is a good thing. It is the reason
Gnumeric and Abiword are good at their respective tasks. It
takes time to lear/earn that sort of experience. However, we do
need to make more of an effort towards integration now.
Hopefully (1) will help us down that path.
