The MS Office components are bloatware. To me the menu/command structure of Excel is generally illogical.
I've looked at NeoOffice and I don't think it is ready for prime time.
For my general uses I think AppleWorks is quite good. Improvements are especially needed in file conversions, many of which, I understand, they left out of AW6 that were present in AW5. The spreadsheet could stand a few improvements as could the database component.
I teach a computer applications course at the local Senior Center. It uses M$ Works; that program is so much less than AppleWorks!
I sure hope Apple doesn't abandon AppleWorks.
