Depends on your area. OO has some areas where it does not shine that
much. In particular, graphs in spreadsheet is very much below the
standard of the rest of the package. In fact, it is practically
unusable for scientific type of work. There are also some formatting
restrictions in outline numbering (in numbering in general, actually)
in writer and a few other smaller issues. If you work in science or
engineering then the lack of either built-in tools or the possibility of
interfacing them to create arbitrarily formatted literature references
and the associated bibliography is also a major pain in the neck.
(Yes, I know OO 2.0's built-in biblio stuff, but if you have to write
articles to sci papers, it simply isn't up to the task, really. I also
know that a group is working on the biblio extensions, sort of like an
integrated Endnote and more but it is not done yet, so it doesn't help
you *now*.)
So, well, there are areas where OO is behind the Microsoft offering,
at least for sci/eng use. In others, it is well ahead. It really
depends on what you want to use it for.
