There's not as much re-use in KOffice as I would like (I haven't found a
way yet to use Karbon's dockers in Krita, for example, and Kivio has its
own implementation, too), so KOffice could be even smaller in code size
than it is at the moment, but in general you're right. Without all the
richness KDE offers, KOffice would be way bigger. Of course, that's the
whole idea of having KDE to build on.

But even if OpenOffice starts to use GTK and Qt, it'll still be through an
indirection layer, so from the application developer's point of view, he's
still talking to a custom widget set.
