It is butt-ugly, takes ages to load and has a bloated and unintuitive UI.
But it does get the job done and is pretty good at handling xls and doc files.
In other words: a perfect MS office clone
Compared to running the version from http://www.openoffice.org/ through X Windows, NeoOffice is gorgeous. Performance is tolerable on my 12" 1.5GHz 1.25GB PowerBook. Features and stability are fine. I imagine that performance would be good on new hardware with at least 2GB of memory.

Well yeah, but I've seen decomposing roadkill that is more pleasing to behold than openoffice in X11.....
