Reviewing 1.3 (Jun 12, 2009)
It is a very nice suite which offers a clean and to the point interface offering just enough of what you would typically need to use instead of tossing a ton of toolbars and buttons in your face. Seemingly rock solid and stable as well, but it suffers greatly from one drawback which is that it is so so very slow.... In comparison to say OpenOffice, it takes near 5 times longer to load Lotus Symphony.
But if you have a superior top of the line PC and don't need all the extra features and functionality of most of the other office suites, then Lotus Symphony maybe just what you've been looking for.

And this makes sense,... how? Comparing to OO, MSO, or something else?
Reviewing 1.2 (Nov 6, 2008)
Nice user interface is just not enough. Slow, demanding on system resources, based on an outdated technology (OO.o 1.x). If it is supposed to be a replacement for Lotus Smartsuite then it is a huge step back.

I like the program but the process of downloading it is just horrible. Hey IBM, making your products a hassle to download is a real turnoff to people. Having to register, and then actually find the link you want...try waking up and joining us in 2008. Give users a simple way to download the version they need and stop requiring them to fill out forms.
