I believe that the plan is to change to hunspell as per bug 319778

Enchant isn't a spell checker, it's a wrapper for backends like MySpell, Hunspell and others. What's the benefit? http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/

The benefit is to use the best spell checker available for a given language. For example for English that would be Aspell, for Finnish that would be Voikko.

Bug 364035 made it possible to use other spellcheck engines like Voikko.

Given bug 364035 and bug 391039, I'm marking this WONTFIX. If someone wants to use enchant, there shouldn't be anything stopping them at this point.

there's still no developer document for doing that. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Bug 364035 has the dev-doc-needed keyword set on it. Feel free to step up to the plate :)
