A bit immature, shall I say? Everybody finds their own mojo in life, for some it is entrepreneurship. You will not be successful just by being in a profession, you have to be outstanding in that profession. Understand and appreciate other&#

Word is an end user product - not open source - not developer friendly - want a developer friendly format - work with ODF or similar entities pushing open standards. Word does its job fairly well.
