I've been using NeoOffice for quite a while now, and even used it to write a quick document to be distributed to end-users after Word refused to play nice. The only thing that OOo (and its various forks) lack, as far as I'm concerned, is an analog to Word's "Normal" mode.
It's really a pity that Sun isn't trying to do more to accommodate legitimate concerns of developers — which is, ultimately, what's leading to all these forks. I expect that NeoOffice will die on the vine once the official OOo Aqua port gets closer to being finished, which is really a pity since those guys have put serious work into it.
