Mono? OOo predates Mono by 15 years. OOo is written in C++.

That might be due to feature parity rather than UI. And the fact that
OOo has been around much longer than open source word processors
(StarOffice predates open source). Note: "due to feature parity" doesn't
necessarily mean "people actually need these features often".


Cheers,
