After having used OpenOffice for years, I finally decided I hate it. Maybe it's just OpenOffice for Mac, but Writer produces output that is just ugly. It's not wrong, just devoid of whatever it is that makes text look decent. I assume the kerning is bad. I talked with a friend who found OpenOffice on her own when her computer at work didn't of MS Office, and found it highly unsuitable. In addition to ugly output, she needed document revisions which Writer apparently doesn't support. Even worse, opening MS Office documents resulted in strange, minor things happening. (No surprise there, but it doesn't really encourage people to stay with the product) Interestingly, she said the same thing I thought when I first saw OpenOffice back when it was StarOffice: instead of producing a better Office, they tried to copy MS Office and failed.
