I've used OpenOffice (actually I'm downloading it again now, since I lost my older version when I upgraded computers) and it's perfectly acceptable. I don't work with word processor/database files very often though, so I can't give a detailed review of it.

My understanding is that the development work is done part time. While this might not sound too glamorous, it does ensure that those working on it are committed to the project and really care about the product.
