Abiword could do with a word exporter but that's about all I need from a
WP. Memory hog? On my ugliest word doc (half a meg including images) it
uses around 12Mb of RAM, which isn't great, but I have seen worse.
I've not noticed any speed problems, scrolling is quite up to the X
standard.
Feature bloat? Erm, what features? Spell check and word count?
