Open Office 1.1.2 on Mac OS X is snappy

I've been converting some slides over to Open Office format using the "experimental" X11 build of Open Office 1.1.2 for the Mac. Like most X11 apps under Mac OS X, Open Office doesn't look quite right and is a little, shall we say, quirky. But, after using it for a while I can testify that it is stable and very snappy. The Powerpoint import is very nice too, much improved over 1.0.

How long will we have to wait for a true native app? The Open Office team is working towards native Quartz and Aqua versions for release in late 2005.

Try NeoOffice/J - as I just blogged, the new alpha release is out and it looks good

"How long will we have to wait for a true native app?" I think you might have to wait until late 2005.
