    (never used LaTeX myself, looks too complex to me)
    Ok, let's pretend you did not point me to it but I wanted to convert everyone to write LaTeX all along.

    For documents intended for paper or PDF, LyX is a very nice and simple editor. LyX is like a wrapper to the LaTeX language, making it easy to write documents mostly without knowing LaTeX. Just don't rely on it for complex tables or hundreds of big pictures in one document.
    For quick stuff like that yearly letter to the tax collection office it is perfect (when choosing or creating an appropriate template for letters once).
    For writing a thesis on the other hand, I chose plain LaTeX.

    One thing where Microsoft Office is just unsurpassed, is how good slideshow presentations can be created in Powerpoint. The time-spent vs. quality of the result and the amount of features to make a presentation asthetically pleasing to viewers is great. On the other hand presentations made with LibreOffice look like billboards from the 1960s.

    If anyone knows a good email client which feels like Outlook and which has a clean UI look and big buttons for the most used functions (move, delete, spam, reply, add attachment), let me know. No, thunderbird doesn't have big buttons, my father disapproves.

            And I hope the Vulkan code will work good on both Windows 7 and Linux.
            I'm now curios how good is the KDE Plasma integration, have they improved anything in this area ?
            Plasma integration is great already in 6.4.0 - unfortunately many distros don't build it properly and think the gtk stuff is good enough for Plasma users (that includes even KDE focused spins of otherwise GNOME focused distros that keep the same libreoffice packages as their upstreams).

            OpenMandriva 4.1 has full plasma integration enabled (and its libreoffice packages don't even require gtk at all).
