It is still soooo bloated, though! 

Let's say I could wave my wand and make everybody use one (Linux/Open Source) 
office suite (or more realistically, I just need to use it amongst a small 
set of fairly cooperative people).  *Then* what would be the best? Opinions?  
I will probably be stuck using OOo for MS interoperability, but I'd like to 
find a good "native" suite for my own use, and so far, I've been kind of 
frustrated by basic-feature problems (not interoperability) -- the fact that 
OOo brings every computer I've tried it on to its knees counts as a basic 
feature problem, IMHO. ;-)

Cheers,
Terry
