It's faster and no more buggy than OO.o, also the ui/icons are spiffed up a little bit. It's still a dog, imho, but is good enough, enough of the time, to give it the disk space. The compatibility with MS Office 2007 .docx and .xlsx files is all but nonexistent, and the presentation program still chokes on the simplest PowerPoint files. It's not business-class interoperable with MS Office.
