Re: [libreoffice-users] Feature Request :Evolution

I can understand why software companies expand software products to do
more and more things (to justify new versions, to convince chumps to
'upgrade', and to push other software companies out of the picture),
but I do not understand those who buy into such a process with its
accompanying bloat.

I want to choose the product which is best for my needs in each area
where I have a need for an application. If, for instance, I use
web-based e-mail, I have no need for an office suite which includes an
e-mail function and I neither want to spend the money nor waste hard
drive space for such a 'feature'.

The worst expansions-into-bloat are what used to be anti-virus
products which now try to be firewalls, anti-spam,
anti-whatever-you-might-not-want, etc. But Microsoft Office isn't all
that far behind. I'm actually surprised they haven't rolled Visio into
the suite. (Or have they and I didn't notice?)
