Hello... This is Christopher Allan Webber, and I helped co-write this article (as stated at the bottom). When talking with Tobias, I suggested that we include Open Office, but his purpose in creating this article was to raise awareness of many of the lesser known, yet very powerful, desktop applications on GNU/Linux. Open Office has recieved much attention as of late, so it did not really fit the article's purpose. The Gimp 2.x series was included because of its recent release.

GAIM might have been worthy of mention, however.
