Every time I try Open Office it fights me. Imports comma-delimited data into the word processor rather than the spreadsheet despite all my efforts, refuses to plot the data unless sorted first (sort it yourself, duh!), behaves completely counter-intuitively when editing... Even their auto-correct feature, nearly seamless in MS, rubs me the wrong way. And it's large, slow and not very stable, either. I hate Word at times, especially its formatting bugs, so I occasionally try OOffice, but give up in frustration each time.
And for "occasional letters to mom" you can use whatever free word-processing thing came with your OS (WordPad in Windows).
