I must admit any Office Suite of Applications will suite most users as long as compatibility issues are not a consideration – like say you email spreadsheets all over the place Excel will rule as most that that

Sure each to there own and way(s) of working the draw back is M$ Office is packing VBA and thus the conversation ends with the programmers power this is the by far the daddy of Office Suite – Lotus did code in the back bone was hard and never really took off and so M$ still is bar far the lead runner.

All boils don to what Your going to do and how it knocks on Your working environment – good call!
