1. To begin with, It misses some common grammar mistakes which it shouldn't. 2. The GUI interface could be much better. Best would be to see grammatical mistakes as you type (similar to spelling errors, with a preference to turn this on or off). These two problems were enough for me to decide that the grammar checker was not there yet. Although I know it is being worked on, but I haven't followed it up to see where it is now. If you happen to have updated information, please feel free to share. Regarding the first, IIRC, I could get somewhat better results with queequeg (http://queequeg.sourceforge.net/index-e.html) combined with diction. Wonder how LanguageTool's development is tied with OOo's.
