I also find many things are simply easier to do in
OpenOffice. Calc is tighter and faster.
Are you nuts? Excel is faster in every respect - starting, opening
documents, recalculating, saving. I have cases where save/load in time
Calc (with native formats) is 50 TIMES longer then with Excel. And Calc
uses several times more memory with those files opened.
Operations that just work in Excel require many additional steps in Calc
(see issues 69690, 66052, 67528, 67851, 68515, 68715, 70778, 67912,
35579, 27745, 33851)
Configuring apps is
easier. Apps load and run faster. There's little
non-functional eye candy. And overall, I find there's minimal bloat.
Bloat or not, OO is slower.
One thing that makes a difference is that many things MS Office needs
are loaded at boot. Even with Quickstarter, OO doesn't have that
advantage. It's also part of the reason why XP takes so long to be
usable after booting.
