Aqua Beta is pretty nice!

It still takes a while to start up, but once it's going it's pretty responsive. The aqua controls are also nice.
Coming from using MS Office and OpenOffice on

Oh OpenOffice - how you tease me. You promise me Office-like features for free. Yet when I install you on my Mac, i need X11 and weird keyboard mapping. Sigh.
NeoOffice to the rescue. It installs well and works as advertised. However, it ... is...... very..... slow. Java gui bindings turned out to be a horrible choice.
Don't get me wrong, please. I'm grateful, but just barely.
