many rave about Mellel and Nisus Writer but file compatibility with Word is poor although the editing features of both apps is considered very strong. i wrote a book with Mac Word 98, sure, it crashed a lot but OS 8 was very stable with all of the extensions i had installed. miss it.
i think pages is very pretty and nice for simple tasks but not quite up to snuff for very large documents or particularly stable. neoffice is a contender as Word compatibility is high but UI is very un-mac.
