I absolutely agree with you. OOo is more like MS Office than one version
of MSO is to another version of MSO.

The biggest complaint I hear is "it must be poorly written software
because it takes so long to load"

The definition of "eternity" used to be the time between the light turning
green and the car ahead of you starting to move. Now I guess it's the
length of time a program takes to load :-)
