That's not to say that I think it functions perfectly, it definitely has its quirks, but it more than up to any task I have put to it with the sole exception of generating pdfs. (the issue I have with OOo pdf files is that they aren't universally readable and i can't quite figure out what variables determine whether they will or won't be readable on another machine) I have made extensive use of version 1.1.2(writer and calc) and recently downloaded the installer for 2.0 under OSX but I haven't tried it yet.
