The fact that it runs like crap is the biggest part of it. I also
don't like the all-in-one interface. Its user interface feels like
an old off-bran Works-type program.
And I don't think it will qualify as an alternative to MS Office for
a LONG time, if ever. The win32 version absolutely sucks - crashes,
runs like crap, etc. The *nix versions are better, but those mostly
don't matter because in the real world, meaning the consumer world
or the business world, most people don't use *nix.
