It doesn't make sense running koffice without also running KDE, it's a hard 
requirement.

And not only did I experience the 80s and 90s, but the 70s as well.

So now that you have defined what fast, light, standalone means by your 
current needs, it is obvious that no such package exists and hence there is a 
gap in the market.

Now we know what your next project will be.
