There are a number of annoying bugs in LO on OSX that make the experience sub-standard for most Mac lovers/aficionados :

- the whole UI look and feel - this is unlikely to change in the near future, unless at least one developer shows up and knows how to recode the interface to look and behave like an OSX app, good luck with interfacing that with the VCL abstraction layer that LO uses - that's the price of multi-OS support, although to be fair to other multi-OS apps, the problem really does lie in the use of the LO Abstract Window Toolkit, which continues to look like it came from the early 80's - using Glade to produce GTK-like UIs is not IMHO the solution to this problem, but I digress ;

- unsigned app - hey, user do you really want to allow just any app on your shiny OSX ? - to be fair, work is currently ongoing to resolve this ;

- drag and drop support, notably of images into Writer ;

- multimedia insertion/playback in Impress support - this has suffered are regression over LO 3.3.x ;

- incomplete copy/paste support - various modules support varying degrees of functional copy/paste or even drag and drop ;

- non-functional AFS share read/write/lock - for companies that use OSX as their server OS and work environment, this is a red light to deployment of LO ;

- accessibility issues and instability in LO when using accessibility tools ;

- inconsistent font rendering and kerning.


Apple users like the quasi-perfection they experience with the basic OS and most apps designed for it. LO does not provide that experience, and is in many respects still light years away from it. Even compared to NeoOffice, LO lacks UI finesse and OS integration.

I say all this as someone who has been using LO on Mac, and prior to that OOo, for nearly 10 years, and having used StarOffice, OOo, and now LO on Linux and occasionally Windows.
