The Spatial Way
I've never embedded a spreadsheet in my text document either -- probably
because OpenOffice's writer already can calculate stuff in a table. In
fact, I never use a spreadsheet, always writer... But I really like being
able to have KDE's advanced text editor in a browser window to type my
comments in, and have it spell-checked automatically. And when I was
writing an application for linguists to create interlinear text using
Python and PyKDE, I was immensely glad I could just embed a html widget.
And when browsing or googling, I'm kind of pleased that the occasional pdf
doc appears in my browser window. I like having powerful backends,
libraries, inter-process thingies -- even though I never saw the sense in
the com-linked excel-sheet in a Word doc (heck, Word still cannot handle a
few pics in a document, according to a review I recently read).
