NeoOffice

What do you like best?

For a Mac user, ideal software must be integrated with the O.S. he's working on and, for a different O.S. like OSX, is really good to have an app fully integrated with OS behaviour and look and feel.

It's based on OpenOffice and offers same features, nothing more to say.

What do you dislike?

Since is based on OpenOffice product, it need some time to be aligned to latest available version because must be re-packed starting from OpenOffice. Waiting for a bugfix can be annoying. Moreover, it needs more memorythan OpenOffce and, sometime, it freeze with some functions.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you don't need latest OpenOffice version but an integrated UI is enough for you, this software is for you! Unfortunately, this is not for me.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Working with an O.S. aligned UI is good, even if is a Java based application. This means that you have keyboard shortcut working, menu are on top of the screen (the S.O. topbar), you have a full integration with the clipboard.
