This month's Linux Format, issue 80, has a negative review of KOffice 1.5. The reviewer Andy Channelle notes that KWord has superfluous features and is prone to crashing, that the spreadsheet has serious improvements over its predecessor "such as the ability to run for more than 25 minutes" but its Excel importing was poor, and that the image editor Krita "falls over seconds after trying to add an adjustment layer". Only Kexi (the database) and Kivio (flowcharting app) are recommended; the review gives the suite only 4 out of 10. (Note: it transpires that the magazine reviewed a beta version, not the final release, for which there has already been a maintenance release. See here and here.)
