The only reason I'm still working on Abiword is because of messages like yours: it's nice to know I'm working on something that people use!

I'd like to draw up a list of Abiword shortcomings at some point, beyond the ones I know of:

1) It looks ugly --- this can be resolved with some hildon gui work, nothing epic.
2) It doesn't read word files --- this SHOULD be resolvable and is probably a matter of something broken or not enabled during the build process.
3) Lots of things crash when you click on them --- most of these errors seem to come from the partial hildonization --- attempting to cast a hildon window down to a GTK window doesn't work, for example, which is why print preview crashes.
4) Doesn't print --- see CUPS
