I like the X11-version of OO way more better then the native one. The
native one works slower, a bit unstable, has less features but on the
other side more problems. (But I must admit, I tested it one year ago or
so.)

And it's also no problem to have X on your Mac OS X, it's installed by
default and if it's not, you can very easily install it. And there are
some other applications which need X, for example Gimp and most other
Linux application (and while most native Mac OS X applications are
shareware/commercial, you have the choice between Linux application
under X or a pirated copy of some native application).

Greetings,
Albert
