I tinkered with Abiword briefly, but just didn't care for it.  I've
not been impressed with anything other than SO/OOo.  Frankly, I don't
care if the app takes 5 seconds or 25 seconds - maybe I'm just used to
slow CPU's.  I just graduated to a 1.3 GHz box recently from a P-II
350 MHz.  The old one kept close behind the 1.8 GHz box at work. 
Boost yer RAM, if you can.

And these guys are right - you can control the auto-bulleting in OOo. 
I've often felt like I was wrestling with Satan when trying that with
MS Word :)
