This uh... "discussion".. would make an excellent blog post, comparing Pages/Word and LibreOffice on a mac, based on merits such as:

* Install UX (how difficult, what pop-ups).

* First time user experience.

* Launch speed.

* Consistency with OS (such as using native file dialogs, hotkeys).

* Export Options (perhaps compatibility too).

* Spellchecker (especially if the OS is configured in another language than US english and the processor can detect it).

* Input latency.

I wonder if there would be more, though of this list I think LibreOffice would do very fairly compared to Pages.app and MS Word for Mac.
