...and does half as much.  OpenOffice.org one of very few applications 
that leaves me pining for my Windows system when I'm working in Ubuntu. 
  It's pretty stupid and sometimes just painful to use.  (The next 
biggest program that I switch to my Windows system for is Visual 
Studio.)  There's no way that I could use OpenOffice.org daily.  I'd 
rather use Vim.  In fact, with Vim's inline spell check (new in 7.0) I 
have been using it a lot more for basic document writing than either 
OO.org or Office.
