If I were using a Mac, I’d use LibreOffice. I believe that LibreOffice has a number of new features and feature-improvements that are not present in NeoOffice. In terms of releases, the latest stable release of LO was 5 days ago, while the latest stable release of NeoOffice was over 5 months ago. NeoOffice is quirky in places, but the full release version of NeoOffice is not buggy. It feels more 'Mac-like' and uses Mac features, such as the system-wide spell check and Services in some cases. There’s a comparison of NeoOffice,, and LibreOffice on the NeoOffice site, however it hasn’t been updated in 6 months and probably isn’t including all of the features that LibreOffice has added since then: NeoOffices strength is that it is better integrated into Mac OS X than either or LibreOffice. In the past few months I’ve tried to help out a handful of people who were having problems with NeoOffice, but because you must have a paid support contract to use the official NeoOffice forums (and because I don’t regularly use OSX), I saw no reason for me to pay them $100 a year just so that I could help triage someone else’s problem.

Speaking more generally, I think that LibreOffice provides one of the best FLOSS ‘office suite’ tools, and has a solid community of both paid contributors and volunteers. I usually give OSX users a copy of LibreOffice if they ask for something that can open all of the Word/Excel files that people send them (which is their primary use case :-).
