Finally dumped NeoOffice today. Couldn't take the speed of Java anymore. I'll live with OpenOffice under X11 for now, even though the fonts suck (and keeping OOo copies of all my fonts doubly sucks).

Thanks Hubert. I'll start taking a look at fink/darwinports (preferring the latter), so lets hope things just work.

They're firmly behind gcc (and you can tell from their public branches too). Developer machines too were xcode 2.1+gcc

For Gnumeric, you still need gtk. Gtk hasn't been ported on Mac without X11. AbiWord does not use Gtk on MacOS X nor on Windows. Gnumeric is one of the reason I started working on the Gtk for MacOS X...

As for the Intel compiler, I read that from the announcement. Apparently, it will be an option for those not willing to use gcc (follow my eyes). As usual, it still all rumors until we get the actual beast. That how it works.
