No Abiword For Mac?

aliya writes "With Abiword's version 1.90 coming out, their cocoa developer has announced that he will no longer work on a Mac version of the software because he doesn't want to support the company which treated him so poorly. There is a still a somewhat-supported X11 version available, though it is not kept current, and it appears that Abiword will join the abundant ranks of 'almost supported' word processors for Mac OS X."

  2. Easter Bunny, Dead at 55 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just saw some sad news on CNN - popular childrens' figure Easter Bunny was found dead on a Georgia road this evening. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    Mod parent up, I am sure this is relevant to Apple's future and might have impact on Universal Music buying up Apple.

    AbiWord was a VERY integral part...

    Integral: Essential or necessary for completeness.
    There are no degrees of integral. Either it is or it isn't. "VERY" is superfluous. If you feel the need to add emphasis, write "very important."

    How come the parent post did not get modded higher?

    Developers willing to help is what was needed, not uninformed bitching from Hemos.

    Did anyone at Slashdot try and act like a real journal and do some research and even ask this guy for his opinion?
