So where would that leave NeoOffice for individual users?
Good question. For now, no change as LibreOffice is too new.
Both LibreOffice and NeoOffice are valid forks of OOo. Recall that
NeoOffice was basically created because the OOo developers weren't
amenable to having a specialized Mac OS interface.
I would guess, I think reasonably so...
1. OOo will continue as-is under Oracle's direction. Since it's not
a cash cow, development will crawl and performance will continue to
lag (especially since many of its developers have left).
2. LibreOffice will get some great features and speed improvements
over the next year or two.
3. NeoOffice will continue offering their Mac-interfaced builds, and
grab the best-of from both the forks.
