I'm really happy with my experiences with OpenOffice.org but that's still in X11. They plan to port to cocoa and then it will kick, but it still wont have fonts or the royalty based features. Then Star Office will use OpenOffice.org source to port their 50$ app with all the goodies. Then Microsoft will see they missed out on a trend (like they do all the time) and port theirs. Don't worry, you'll get your port, but it will be years from now and we'll have better, cheaper office suits by then.

Would it really be any more functional as cocoa? I might agree with them that it's not worth their efforts to port such a big project.
