When I started evaluating Apple hardware and the OS X operating system as a possible replacement for Suipermicro hardware and the BSD/OS operating system, I discovered NeoOffice.  It was a derivative of OpenOffice that had been modified to run as a native OS X application.  I found it to be much better than the early OpenOffice.org <http://openoffice.org/> attempts to develop OpenOffice for OS X.

Sorry, but there is nothing to justify paying for neoOffice over LibreOffice. It may have offered added benefit in the past, but those days are long since past.
