As an avid OpenOffice Draw user, I'd like to emphasize for any graphics-oriented Mac user that Draw is a very nice vector drawing program. It has the usual stuff plus 3D, color and fill creation abilities, 3D shapes and extensive 3D options, prefab shapes, connector lines a la Visio, etc.

Open office has improved significantly since its first release when I was in school, but it's much nicer to use it without x11 on the Mac. Neo Office is as convient to open and use as any Mac OS specific office suite, and it has all of the interoperability that Open Office has.
I don't write that much these days, but I have turned two grad students onto Neo Office instead of MS Office, One of them also switched to using Open Office exclusively at her corporate job that has a Windows computer.
