Andrew: I'm talking about very basic add-on/scripting functionality, things that in a sensible system would be fixed via community support in a matter of hours. Not be unsolvable for months and months. Like this: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=10410

It just might be that MSO includes those features because they di not trust those who wrote whatever OS MSO runs on.

As an OOo user, I think that MSO is a great piece of software. I even like the new ribbon menus. Bloated it may be, but it is a joy to use. Too bad it doesn't run on my OS of choice. I very much like OOo, and I promote it where I can. But MSO is not so bad itself.

Anonymous: Are you referring to the API or to StarBasic/OOoBasic? The API is accessible from Python, Java, and JavaScript. I agree the OOo API is more difficult than necessary, even from a nice language like Python.

While we're talking about too complex...

How about the OpenOffice scripting system? It is a frickin nightmare! Impossible for a newcomer to get to grips with. The result: very few add-ons made and low script forum participation.

To compete as an office suite OO would need to be almost as add-on rich as Firefox. To get there a better scripting system is needed NOW.
