Re: An article about AbiWord in the Internet site of an Israeli newspaper

The article surveys the AbiWord, Paint.NET and Screamer Radio
applications.
About AbiWord, the gist is as follows.

Excellent wordprocessor, which serves as MS-Word replacement.
It is lightweight in both size (4.8MB vs. few hundred MB in OpenOffice
package) and in startup time.

Good value for those users, who want only to write a letter.

AbiWord contains Hebrew GUI which is a bit defective [Omer: mea culpa,
I didn't update translations and made no effort to finish them]. Full
Hebrew support in editing documents, except for Hebrew dictionaries.
Good integration with English and numbers.

Summary of advantages: Free Software, comfortable, familiar, does not
consume resources.
Summary of disadvantages: is not part of an office suite, does not
include Hebrew dictionary, is not fully stable.
Bottom line: excellent replacement for MS-Word.
Grade: 4.5 stars of maximum 5 stars.
Version: 2.2.3.
