The interface is way too busy and the plotting functions in the spreadsheet are cryptic - Its a very bloated program that I don't bother using anymore. AbiWord is much much better. Its a small program that doesn't require much in the way of memory and it runs nicely in OSX as well as in win98. The only trick (if you're willing to call it that) is to have the X11 server running in the background before you start AbiWord.
For spreadsheets I really like gnumeric. I hope someone will port it to OSX soon.
