(I used NeoOffice and supported them with annual donations for the past decade. You'll have to decide whether NeoOffice provides a better experience on the Mac for you compared to LibreOffice for Mac. With the beta of the forthcoming version, they have announced that they have removed the use of Java and have replaced all those Java functions with their own NeoOffice code written in Cocoa. NeoOffice supports Mac OS X 10.7 Lion's Versions, Media Browser, Full Screen Mode, Apple Core Text for font rendering, and many user-interface elements that use Mac OS X's API code (implemented by the NeoOffice development team) to replace the ported code found in LibreOffice or. Here is NeoOffice's list of features that it offers that are not found in LibreOffice or : I removed all the preferences files related to LibreOffice and still crashes after about 30-60 seconds from start while I am inside the config window.Their beta version is based on OOo 3.1 !?! while now Ooo is 3.3 final for quite a while.

Īs the maintainers of NeoOffice ask a 100$ payment to be able to post something on their forum, I do not feel that my 10$ investment was quite well made.Īlso, their codebase seems to be quite ancient, compared with and LibreOffice. I even paid to get a copy of NeoOffice which I was able to use, quite well in the last week but ended up finding an ugly bug: bibliography references from inside frames are not numbered, they just use but they are listed in the bibliography list. I was quite surprised to discover that both releases and beta versions of LibreOffice and do crash on OS X 10.7 when you try to access the preferences screen.
