"I would happily have you justify that feature complete, because I suspect you can't. If anything its the reverse. "
My father has become a recent convert to OpenOffice, I don't know if I would call him a power user (if for no other reason, I hate the phrase), however his tasks as a tutor would involve things along the lines of the following.
1) Producing reasonably complicated spreadsheets including both graphing and formulae.
2) Within the document writer, producing math formulae for exams and course work.
3) General DB work, forms, etc.
The only two area's that my father feels that OO falls behind MSOffice is
1) Within the spreadsheet, data representation in the form of graphing. He finds the UI within office FAR easier to work with. He knows features work as when he saves it in office open it in calc, and the info is represented, however he can do it within office.
2) the equation editor in writer is not as user friendly as within office.
Other then that, he has no real qualms.
