Story: Don't pirate MS-Office: use ours, says OpenOffice.org

My big problem with OpenOffice is the fact that it's Java based. It's not really a "standalone app" per se. The tie-in with Sun Java makes it difficult to use the program. Using the File --> Open dialog was so painful I had to give up. I HATE Java based apps.
Also, its naming conventions for its apps are terrible. "Word" and "Excel" are household names, have been for years. "Calc" doesn't cut it for me.
