The latest dev build of abiword went up last night and this version includes a native program for osx - x11 is no longer needed. it has fairly good word document support (much better than textedit), it's fairly fast, supports all of your fonts, and anti-aliases text. it's still very rough, but i haven't had any problems with it so far.

This is a great app! I really look forward to its continued development, particularly for its Mac OS X version to reach completion and take its place among the AbiWord versions on other platforms. I'm also looking forward to its promised support for the OpenOffice.org file formats.

A lightweight, compatible, cross-platform and free word processing program -- superb!
