"The latest versions of OpenOffice have seen a spurt of growth in the extensions available for the program. These include templates for professional writers, an export tool for bidirectional functionality with Google Docs, blog publishing, and others… the multilingual and crossplatform OpenOffice.org is a compelling option for anyone in search of an alternative office suite." — CNET

"Chief among the 'fit and finish' improvements are anti-aliasing of graphics, which greatly improves the clarity of charts and drawings, and the showing of shadow objects while dragging, rather than just wire frames or outlines. They may have taken five years to achieve, but these two features alone make OpenOffice look much more professional."

"OpenOffice can use extensions to increase its functionality. For example, Writer's existing grammar checker framework can now be augmented with extensions like LanguageTool. It won't significantly improve your writing, but it will save you from some of the more idiotic grammar errors. I've been waiting for this feature since OpenOffice first showed up."
