i think that 2.0 made OpenOffice a hell of a lot nicer to look at and gave it some really handy features. for making my software engineering papers, the cool active link features for glossaries and tables of content are so much easier to use once you get used to it. there's some fairly good integration of the other parts of the suite as well.
it does chug a bit, but i definitely prefer it (and its much smaller file sizes) over Word.
