There has been lots of speculation on what Ximian has been doing with Open Office in prepartion for the GNOME 2 based version of Ximian Desktop. Well Michael Meeks made the slides from his presentation at the Open Office conference in Germany available, which details some of the changes done by Ximian.
You find the slides here.

Perhaps it's because at the time those projects were started, the other possibilities either didn't exist (KOffice was started even before KDE1.0 release AFAIK), or were laughable (KHTML started at the times Mozilla was more a bad joke than a browser).
