Anything but OO. Last time I looked at OO, it faithfully emulated MS
Office's bloat. Between...
- the bloated OO code itself
- the hard-coded Java dependancy
- the need for PAM-headers (WHY ?!?!?) if attampting to build from
source tarball
...I'm looking at well over a gigabyte of garbage. If we're going to
complain about MS trying to ram its "standards" down our throats, at
least let's be even-handed and apply the same treatment to Sun and its
Java-mania.
