They don't really say what the new features are. They just list a bunch of features and you
have to know the old OpenOffice to figure out what's new and what's old.

1) It's Faster! Really - I'm very pleased with the improvements in 1.1, the startup time especially. I've actually stopped using VMWare + MS Office to edit my work documents as well as it's much better at importing MS files. Great stuff.

No crashes yet for me and it's opened every word document I've received in the last month. It's also the best (and only) wysiwyg PDF creator I've seen for GNU/Linux.

"It's faster!" is an understatement; it is vastly faster. And it now understands the bullets in my company's standard PowerPoint template (1.0.1 messed them up).

From this article:
"OpenOffice.org spokesman Sam Heiser told internetnews.com that the two most significant enhancements in version 1.1 of the suite are faster load times -- one of the primary criticisms of earlier versions of the suite -- and a modernized, contemporary look and feel."
I'll bet there are a few bug fixes as well, but this indicates to me that OpenOffice.org is pretty much feature complete. I could think of a few things to add, for example, I want a script L in the equation editor for laplace transforms....

As someone who's been using the RC candidates for a while let me say what's improved in this release:OpenOffice.org 1.1 released
2) It's better at importing files
3) It's generally better.
Much as I hate software cheerleaders (especially desktop software cheerleaders), I have to chime in to say OOo 1.1 is great.OpenOffice.org 1.1 released
That's great to hear. My main complaint was the startup time. Which really isn't that much OpenOffice.org 1.1 released
of a complaint anyways, IMHO.

You'll be glad to hear that this is in the works. The plan is for all of OpenOffice to be implemented in OOo's toolkit, and for that toolkit to have wrappers for whatever the native toolkit of each platform is.
The idea has some resemblance to how WxWindows works. It reduces duplication of work.
This, however, is a non-trivial task. I think it's planned for version 2.0.
