Oh how good it would be to have an office package that had actually been designed from the ground up to be integrated and not as a set of discrete applications patched together in a hurry after the event.

Innovation in the software industry seems to consist of making all the same mistakes but on a different platform, or ecosystem as I believe they call it these days (the word ecosystem always puts me in mind of what you find when you turn a large stone over).
