I have to say that the spreadsheet in Open Office is less than optimal.

I had to use gnumeric to process a spreadsheet I was working on, I could
not get it to do what I wanted with the data import.  I kind of doubt I
will play with the spreadsheet much.  I suspect that I will stick with
gnumeric for a while, it works.  An integrated spreadsheet in an office
product is a requirement so it will get a bit of work done on it.

The word processor is what has had the major focus and it is getting
very robust now.  The WP has so much to offer in terms of hair pulling
and gnashing of teeth for a developer :-)

The Impress (powerpoint/ presentations) product is also getting some
airplay in terms of working on powerpoint imports.  This is probably one
hole in the open source world that needs to be plugged.  There is no
easy way to give a manager a pretty presentation for his legacy M$
system.  I expect a ramp up with the presentations side of OO in the
next release (guess work here).
