In that point you're completely wrong! I'm certainly one of the people who know the programming capabilities of StarOffice most and I can tell you, using StarOffice components within external applications is all but impossible as you think. It's not using Bonobo currently, but something very similar. And ever heard about bridges for component models? Beware the butterfly! ;-)
