Personally, the main reason OO isn't my first choice is that documents often 
have to be read by other people using MSO. OO does a fair job of opening Word 
docs these days, but the saving tends to munge the formatting; Meaning I have 
to open my doc in Word anyway to fix it up.

The comfort factor is an issue, but not as big as document portability, 
especially as almost everyone can open Word docs.
