Lotus Symphony
I tried Lotus Symphony for some times, it is built on Eclipse just like CodeGear’s 3rdRail and JBuilder also I think.
The first thing I notice was the icon, it’s the same with Lotus Notes 6.x, maybe with newer Lotus Notes; I read somewhere that Lotus Notes is built on Eclipse also, since Notes 7 I think.
It seems the interface much differ with other office suite, but I guess I will like it 
just let see after use it for more times.
Btw, after installation it will take over all OpenOffice’s .ODT. I don’t remember whether it asked me to replace it or not.
Forgot to mention, in Windows, time needed to launch Lotus Symphony just about OpenOffice, if not faster a little. I will use it parallel with OpenOffice and maybe with MS Office 2007.
Hi, good post. I have been wondering about this issue,so thanks for posting.
