I'm aware that there simply aren't enough coders on such a project and that it's difficult to do for such a big open source project, but from an end-user's point of view, "Mac-ish" just doesn't cut it.
But the choice is there, and that's good for everyone. For me, it's OpenOffice/NeoOffice. For someone else that doesn't prefer it, there are the multitude of other solutions. I'm just glad that I have the ablility to run an office suite that I run on my other platforms as well. I personally can live with these little niggles (that's what they are to me anyways ).
