"NeoOffice is important not only because it brings a decent OOo port to the Mac platform, but also because it is arguably the only complete, non-Microsoft office suite for Mac OSX. Apple has all but abandoned AppleWorks which has mostly been replaced with iWork, except that iWork has no spreadsheet component and the word processing component is more of a page layout tool than a word processor. That's right, the platform that encourages users to 'Think Different' is pretty much down to a single office suite." Read the entire review.

I wrote the review. You caught me. I've only used Pages very briefly and probably wasn't qualified to comment on it. My apologies.
I find it interesting that you found Pages lighter than NeoOffice. When I tried pages (version 1) on my PowerBook, it seemed quite a bit heavier than NeoOffice Writer. (Once NeoOffice started up, of course. ;-) Perhaps I should give pages another shot, though I try to stick to common, cross-platform, open formats like .sxw
I would encourage you to try NeoOffice 1.2.2. It's a lot faster than the previous versions once it gets up and running. Absolutely the best release yet.
