Pros: None
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: When i tried this software i felt a lack of detail and finesse. For instance the help speaks of "spreadform one" in an application that's called "accel". Although it's just the outer coating it gives a feeling of carelesness. One thing that struck me when trying accel was that it was possible to erase an entire worksheet by just hitting F5, no questions asked, and no undo function available: 1 button, --> everything gone, or maybe i missed something, and this while the innocent action of closing the launchbar does ask for a confirmation. Maybe people that make a challenge to existing office suites should especially pay attention to detail. A strength of the suite, i guess, is it's responsiveness, no waiting: floop the apps are open, quite different from the suites i know. When seeing this suite i think it's kind of average but it had/has the potential to be so much better. The main functions are ok, but the detail..... Another example of a missed chance: Wordgraph can export to pdf.... cool, exiting, untill u uderstand it can't put bookmarks in it, or edit it's own pdf's, and then all usefullness is gone because with a pdf-printer any app can export to pdf. The abundance of low-functionality gadgets like a simple clock etc. etc. may be apealing to some looking for a simple responsive but complete office solution, but it gives me the feeling i want to replace most of the gadgets with something better. Take the launchbar, looks nice but not as good as other freeware alternatives, that don't have nero coverdesigner as a fixed item, maybe the author should have focused a bit more on core functionality, although there are also arguments for having that kind of stuff, it's a suite and suites are supposed to have a lot of stuff.
