Comments/thoughts? I find the original question unqualified as the author obviously didn't take any effort to dig deeper into the topic or working with Draw before going to the list. The replies at the thread say most things that have to be said. Personally I live in Beijing/China. OOo market share is pretty low here: http://www.webmasterpro.de/portal/news/2010/02/05/international-openoffice-market-shares.html I was talking to some of my Chinese friends, who frequently work with OOo. They are also using Draw and find the features rich and appealing. However there are some issues for them, primarily complaining that there isn't spend too much development effort on Draw, both regarding bug fixes and lack of new features. As many Chinese users are loving to create graphical artwork, my friends are sure that improvements for Draw would also help the general OOo adoption in China. One of my friends called Zhang Weiwu tried to spark a discussion about on a mailing list (sorry, cannot remember which one) some months ago with little response unfortunately.
