2. this has been discussed a lot. and the sad thing is, the functionality was in oo.org, it just got removed without a reason.
yes, remembering the last edit position.
This is in no way a problem for me.
yesterday i tried to use 1.9m87 to edit some 20-40 page documents. after 30 minutes of work frustration was big enough to switch back to 1.1.4. i knew that i have got used to this feature, but i didn't know that it's absence would be that important.

there have been no dev response for some time, and i fear that the longer it's delayed, the more problems might arise.
I doubt highly that there ever will be any "dev response". It's not a bug. It was removed on purpose. I don't think any more "problems" will arise, since it's removal isn't a problem, it was a choice.
The only possible "showstoppers" I've seen in the 2.0 betas, are the ones that are acknowledged as problems by the people who release the betas. Once the 2.0 final is released, after all those bugs are addressed, I will happily ditch 1.1.4 and move on to 2.0. Every change I've seen has been for the better - other than the installer, which should be a self-extracting installer in the 7z format, not some silly zip file.
But the improvements are awesome! The better look and feel - the cleaned up user interface, the Word Count! (YAYAYAYAYAYYAY!) the included database, the removal of the stupid URL bar, the iconic switching between modes (I love that one). All upward and onward as far as I can tell. The only thing that would keep me in 1.x land is if 2.0 didn't work. If it was buggy or broken. Nothing else could stop me from changing.
Although I will stick with 1.x on Mac OS X until NeoOffice/J releases their version of 2.0 - none of the features are worth dealing with that X11 crap.
