I use StarOffice's word processor daily and am very happy with it. I was never a super heavy power user of MS Word, but I knew my way around it, and use keyboard shortcuts instead of menus. Thus, what impressed me most when I started using StarOffice is that nearly all the shortcut keys (that I use) were identical.

What impresses me most now, two months after first using it, is that it has never yet crashed, a problem that I battled with daily when using MS Word.
