It is irrelevant whether it is a daemon or a GUI application. The main
point is that you are confusing users and also developers. Why the hell
should a random user have to choose from half a dozen seemingly similar
programs when the information for making an educated choice is so hard
to obtain, if at all it can be obtained?

Whether it is editing a document or listening to audio, it is all about
using some piece of software to get something done. It is not about
spending loads of time to make the choice.

As for developers, why would they have to deal with bug reports filed
against the wrong component (AOO vs LO)?

Cheers,
Debarshi
