==========================
I have been using SO for over a year (even the Win version, before I tried
Linux). I've been using Applixware 5 since February. SO "feels" much larger
and bloated, but does a much better job of reading, converting, and managing
Excel files, especially large ones. Both do a superb job of handling Word
files. Neither seems capable of reading the other's docs, unless they are
saved as Word format, or RTF, or some other common form.
My "guess" is that you'll like whichever you get used to. They both create
their own documents very capably and offer a variety of tools to help you get
work done.
