Glad to see Abiword will be kept. I still use Abiword and Gnumeric regularly because I can depend on these programs to just work. Sure they have some not show stopping issues/bugs which will likely never be resolved but they are lighting fast. And none of my time is wasted on changes which I may or may not like which keeps me focused on my work instead the text editor and spreadsheet. If I need a "missing" feature, I use Libre or Google.
