NewsForge reviews NeoOffice 2.1 and concludes: "All in all, NeoOffice 2.1 is an incremental improvement over NeoOffice 2.0 Beta 3. Microsoft Office OpenXML compatibility is still a weak point, and if you are looking for help, you are better off avoiding the inconsistent and outdated documentation on the wiki and heading directly to the discussion forum. Nevertheless, NeoOffice remains far superior to the X11-based Mac builds of OpenOffice.org. The OS integration work is impressive, and the new features make the suite as a whole all the more indispensable."

I use NeoOffice exclusively. I like it. It is true however that it spends quite some time messing on the disk upon startup. I don't know what it does but it definitely shows the harddisk is the weak point on laptops (mbpro here).
On the whole it's not slower to launch than MSOffice in Rosetta's emulation engine but you'd expect it to be faster. Damn, OpenOffice seems much faster on my PC running windows. Must be the disk though.
