I'd used oo 1.1.4 for the last years and was happy with it so far. But in a
world that thinks that M$ Office is the only thing to write documents it gots
strongly out of date.

So, as I use now OO 1.1.5 (2.0 is far from GA yet) I can communicate again with
dumb users without paying M$ for its crap.

I use OO for
- writing letters
- writing bills to my customers
- doing my accounting for my small enterprise

As OpenOffice is better integrated into WPS as SO was I feel better with it. I
don't use the standard templates but have created my own.

I like the postscript capabilities, the possibilities to to im- and export CVS.

I don't like to write (X)HTML with it because for that NEPMD from netlabs does
much better work for when you needs not only to click around to get something
that looks like XHTML but is true XHTML as a modern WEB server linke apche
understunds to serve its clients. My WEB pages are based on SSI, CSS, CGI and
since DB/2 is dead MySql. These are things OO is overstrained with.
