What is NeoOffice?
NeoOffice is an office suite for Mac that is based on OpenOffice and LibreOffice. With NeoOffice, you can view, edit, and save OpenOffice documents, LibreOffice documents, and simple Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.
Two engineers created NeoOffice in 2003 when they made OpenOffice run natively on OS X for the first time. Since then, the NeoOffice engineers have continually added improvements to NeoOffice that you will not find in OpenOffice or LibreOffice such as:
• Native Dark Mode • NeoOffice > Open at Launch menu to open Calc or Impress instead of Writer at launch • File > Browse All Versions menu to restore previous versions of your documents • Native file locking to safely edit files in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or network drives • Native Mac grammar checking • Native Mac text highlighting • Support for Mac Services • Native floating tool windows

Comments and Reviews
When opening word documents with things like table of contents in them, NeoOffice handles that a lot better than OpenOffice, which removed the table of content and forced me to rebuild it. NeoOffice also appears to load a lot faster.
Java interface used to be really slow but it's gotten a lot better over the last few years. I use Neo Office a lot and it was a lot better than Open Office via X11. Not compared it to Open Office on OS X directly though.
Used NeoOffice with Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard). Worked Great. Very similar to MS Office without the hefty price. Will do the word processing and spreadsheet job for 90% of most users. Good support of Mac technologies, pretty decent mac like interface
