Looks good?
Compared to what???

I'm not saying it's not a good package. I use it a lot. But it looks
really bad. It's just plain butt ugly. It looks just as bad as the
Windows version of M$ Office. The Mac version of M$ Office
looks better, and in some ways works better, but it still has way
too many bugs for such an expensive program.

NeoOffice is a step in the right direction, but it's only a step. I
wish the developers would start charging for it so they could
accelerate the development process. When you consider how
much Microcruft charges for the Mac version of Office, and how
much Mac users hate Microsoft, you'd think there would be a
pretty good business case for developing an inexpensive OSS-
based alternative.
