OOo is pretty damned good for my purposes.
I finally reached a tipping point where I was willing to tolerate the long compile time to get its great functionality. (Gnumeric is OK, but Abiword just isn't cutting it.)
Code:
> dmesg | egrep 'avail memory|CPU:'
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz (2793.08-MHz 686-class CPU)
avail memory = 1563394048 (1490 MB)
On that box, I started a screen session to compile editors/openoffice.org-2 before I left work yesterday. When I got in this morning it was finished. (I had to deal with the Sun / java licensing garbage from home, thus the screen session.)
Anyway, I agree with your comment. OOo "has arrived", as they say.
