Lousy default templates (needs more native templates in general). Of course you can use MS Office's templates but you just hope that it's in the 95% compatable camp and not 5% incompatable one. Dictionary is fair but I frequently see words that are correct underlined. No thesaurus but be added later. No grammar checker.
Overall, I think AbiWord is a better word processor. It's a bit more polished. OpenOffice Writer has many quirks. While not nsurmountable, I find it really annoying. For instance, when making an envelope, the sender text box is on the bottom! Bad design choice I must say.
OpenOffice on the whole is good for the price but it is not better than MS Office.

Pardon me for straying away slightly, but could anyone care to tell me what that visual style in the screenshot above is? Cheers.
As for the program itself, it's pretty worthy of my time, and an often recommended program imo! :-)
