NeoOfficeJ

I've been using OpenOffice for a couple of years now but the thing I dislike most about it, is that it runs under X11 and just doesn't look or feel like a Mac app. It looks all gray and Windows95-ish and worse, the command keys are all messed up. So I finally tried NeoOffice/J and I'm quite a bit happier. It still looks more like a Windows app than a Mac app BUT the menus are at the top where they should be and the command keys are correct. It's fast, the fonts look better, it has a double clickable application icon and it doesn't use X11. So far so good. And its free. :-)
