So I will be starting a new job (as an assistant professor) in the fall, and will be buying a Mac with my startup funds. I've been a PC guy for a long time, but I just can't handle Vista. Anyway, what word processor for Mac do you recommend?
I will need to open documents by others (at times), create quizzes, exams, etc. The academic writing will typically be taken care of using LaTeX or LyX, so that is not a problem. Here are the main contenders it seems:
1. Microsoft Office
2. Apple iWorks
3. OpenOffice
4. NeoOffice (a Mac version of Open Office)
I know there are a few others such as Nisus, Mellell, etc.
What are your thoughts?
