OpenOffice Gets More Features

I’m a day to day OpenOffice user and I like OpenOffice, but over time I have stumbled over features, which was lacking – compared to Microsoft Office 2007. With the release of OpenOffice 3.0 in September a number of the features that I miss the most in my daily use of OpenOffice seems to get implemented and integrated. Here is my list features that OpenOffice lacks in comparison to Microsoft Office 2007.

  1. Presenter Screen in Impress – Powerpoint has got a nifty and very user-friendly presenter view – as far as I can see, a presenter screen for Impress is in the works
  2. Support for Office Open XML – seems to get integrated too
  3. More polished UI – Calc seems to get a new theme for the 3.0 release
  4. Performance – both in terms of speed and space – My experience: OpenOffice is slow, but it seems to get better and better
  5. Native PDF-import – seems to be in the works

Rethinking the GUI (Graphical User Interface) and the CLI (Command Line Interface)

It is obvious that Graphical User Interface-based applications have many advantages over command line interfaces and vice versa. The question is then, could a user interface be designed to incorporate and combine features and advantages from the GUI (Graphical User Interface) and the CLI (Command Line Interface).

Until now a few projects has tried – more or less successful.
CUI (Composite User Interface)

CUI (Composite User Interface)
– The cuiterm is a pilot application for the CUI (Composite User Interface) methodology made to demonstrate the power of the composite user interfaces.

Hotwire – Hypershell
Hotwire is an object-oriented hypershell. It is a shell designed for systems programming (files, processes), and thus it is in the same conceptual category of software as the Unix shell+terminal and Windows PowerShell.

GNOME Command Interface
GNOME Command Interface, or GCI, is an experimental command-line framework for the GNOME Desktop. It is more than a drop-in replacement for GNOME Terminal + bash.

Viewglob
Viewglob is a filesystem visualization add-on for Bash and Zsh. It works by visualizing the directories in a graphical user interface continuously as you navigate in through folders in a Bash or Zsh terminal.
