If you need features, get OpenOffice 3; fully Mac-native and fast. NeoOffice was always slow and buggy. Nevermind that. Feature-wise, it seems like a buggy, slow AW6.
I am a huge AppleWorks fan...but even that's overkill for me. I've managed to finish a book using Google Docs shared with my editor. Before that, I used TextEdit (you'd be surprised what a great SIMPLE editor it is when you go throught the prefs and set it how you want it. I've heard great things about ThinkFree Office. As i've heard, picture MS Office with all the online features of Google Docs, without the complexity of the Windows Live! Office part of Office for Windows. Sounds Complex? I know. So, depending on features, either TextEdit or OO3. AW6 dates back to '99 and Neo is buggy and slow. Good luck!
