I originally posted this to aspell-devel and got a few responses, so I
thought I would post it to aspell-user to get a wider audience.
Since hunspell comes out it seams like no one cares much about Aspell. For
example, it seams that RedHat wants to completely eliminate all spell
checkers except Hunspell:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureDictionary
Originally Hunspell was designed to replace MySpell in OpenOffice however
since then it has become an independent spell checker with many of the
same features of Ispell/Aspell. Although it is never explicitly states
the Hunspell is intended as a better Aspell (in fact they hardly mention
Aspell at all), it is in a prime position to completely replace Aspell.
In fact the most recent version even has support for "dictionary based
phonetic suggestion" [Hunspell ChangeLog].
So the question is: Do You think Aspell is still relevant in light of
Hunspell?
Thanks in advance.
